Prostaglandin E Receptors [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2007 Prostaglandin (PG) E(2) exerts its actions by acting on a group of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). There are four GPCRs responding to PGE(2) designated subtypes EP1, EP2, EP3, and EP4 and multiple splicing isoforms of the subtype EP3. The EP subtypes exhibit differences in signal transduction, tissue localization, and regulation of expression ...

Prostaglandin E Synthases in Zebrafish [PDF]
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2005 Objective— Prostaglandin E synthases (PGESs) are being explored as antiinflammtory drug targets as alternatives to cyclooxygenase (COX)-2. Located downstream of the cyclooxygenases, PGESs catalyze PGE 2 formation, and deletion of microsomal (m)-PGES-1 abrogates inflammation ...

Prostaglandin E Synthase, a Terminal Enzyme for Prostaglandin E2 Biosynthesis [PDF]
BMB Reports, 2005 Biosynthesis of prostanoids is regulated by three sequential enzymatic steps, namely phospholipase A2 enzymes, cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, and various lineagespecific terminal prostanoid synthases. Prostaglandin E synthase (PGES), which isomerizes COX-derived PGH2 specifically to PGE2, occurs in multiple forms with distinct enzymatic properties ...

Prostaglandin synthesis in rat adrenocortical cells.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1979 The biosynthesis of prostaglandins by isolated rat adrenocortical cells has been studied by determinations of products formed during incubations with labeled arachidonic acid and by radioimmunoassays.

Contribution of PGE2 EP1 receptor in hemin-induced neurotoxicity
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2013 Although hemin-mediated neurotoxicity has been linked to the production of free radicals and glutamate excitotoxicity, the role of the prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)-EP1 receptor remains unclear.

Hypothyroidism Affects Uterine Function via the Modulation of Prostaglandin Signaling
Animals, 2021 Thyroid hormones control the functions of almost all body systems. Reproductive dysfunctions, such as abnormal sexual development, infertility, or irregularities in the reproductive cycle, might be associated with thyroid disorders.

Consequences of altered eicosanoid patterns for nociceptive processing in mPGES-1-deficient mice [PDF]
, 2007 Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-dependent prostaglandin (PG) E2 synthesis in the spinal cord plays a major role in the development of inflammatory hyperalgesia and allodynia. Microsomal PGE2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) isomerizes COX-2-derived PGH2 to PGE2.

Dehydration of prostaglandins: study by spectroscopic method
Journal of Lipid Research, 1969 The ultraviolet (UV) and optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) spectra of prostaglandins E1, A1, B1, and their naturally derived 15-epimers are presented.

Insights into the prostanoid pathway in the ovary development of the penaeid shrimp Penaeus monodon. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The prostanoid pathway converts polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) into bioactive lipid mediators, including prostaglandins, thromboxanes and prostacyclins, all of which play vital roles in the immune and reproductive systems in most animal phyla.
