13,14-DIHYDRO-15-KETO PROSTAGLANDIN D2

Description

13,14-dihydro-15-keto Prostaglandin D₂ (13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGD₂) is a metabolite of PGD₂ which is formed through the 15-hydroxy PGDH pathway. 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGD₂ was recently identified as a selective agonist for the CRTH2/DP₂ receptor. It also inhibits ion flux in a canine colonic mucosa preparation. In humans, 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGD₂ is further metabolized to give 11β-hydroxy compounds which have also undergone β-oxidation of one or both side chains. Virtually no 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGD₂ survives intact in the urine.

Uses

13,14-Dihydro-15-keto-PGD2 is a metabolite of Prostaglandin D2 (CAT# P838575) and a selective CRTh2/DP2 receptor agonist. CRTh2/DP2 receptors play crucial roles in atopic dermatitis, asthma, and other inflammatory diseases.
