PathFinder™ Prostaglandin F2alpha ELISA Kit, 96 strip wells (CAT#: IOK-LX124)

96 strip wells

Prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) is one of the five primary PGs derived enzymatically directly from the endoperoxide PGH2. It was initially discovered in seminal fluid, and to date the majority of the functional roles ascribed to it relate to fertility, pregnancy, and parturition. PGF2alpha 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. PGF2alpha is rapidly metabolized to 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGF2alpha in vivo, and the levels of this metabolite in both plasma and amniotic fluid are elevated during active labor in several different mammalian species. Like all of the primary PGs, PGF2alpha. has a very short half-life in the general circulation.
