Prostaglandin D₂ (PGD₂) plays a pharmacological role in allergic and asthmatic anaphylaxis, normal physiological sleep and lowering of body temperature, as well as inhibits platelet aggregation and relaxes vascular smooth muscle. PGDM is a major urinary metabolite of PGD₂ with a unique lower sidechain that readily undergoes reversible cyclization. It is used as a biomarker to assess endogenous production of PGD₂.
