13,14-dihydro-15-keto Prostaglandin F2α EIA Kit

Synonyms :
PGFM EIA Kit
13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGF2α ELISA Kit
Stability : 6 months
Description :
PGF2α was initially discovered in seminal fluid, and to date the majority of the functional roles ascribed to it relate to fertility, pregnancy, and parturition. PGF2α is a potent luteolytic agent and is used to induce ovulation in domestic livestock. It is also a potent uterine stimulant, and is part of the cascade of myometrial stimulants which induce and sustain labor. PGF2α is rapidly metabolized to 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGF2α in vivo, by the enzymes 15-hydroxy prostaglandin dehydrogenase and Δ13-reductucase. Measurement of 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGF2α in plasma can be used as a marker of the in vivo production of PGF2α.
