Prostaglandin F
1α (PGF
1α) is the putative metabolite of dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA)
via the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway. Both PGF
1α and PGF
2α (Item Nos.
16010 |
10007221) have been shown to act as priming pheromones for male Atlantic salmon with a threshold concentration of 10
−11 M.
1 PGF
1α binds to the ovine corpus luteum FP receptor at only 8% of the relative potency of PGF
2α.
2 It is only half as active as PGF
2α in inducing human respiratory smooth muscle contractions
in vitro.
3 PGF
1α MaxSpec
® standard is a quantitative grade standard of PGF
1α (Item No.
15010) that has been prepared specifically for mass spectrometry and related applications where quantitative reproducibility is required. The solution has been prepared gravimetrically and is supplied in a deactivated glass ampule sealed under argon. The concentration was verified by comparison to an independently prepared calibration standard. This PGF
1α MaxSpec
® standard is guaranteed to meet identity, purity, stability, and concentration specifications and is provided with a batch-specific certificate of analysis. Ongoing stability testing is performed to ensure the concentration remains accurate throughout the shelf life of the product.
Note: The amount of solution added to the vial is in excess of the listed amount. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately measure volumes for preparation of calibration standards. Follow recommended storage and handling conditions to maintain product quality.
