Cyclopentenone prostaglandin receptors

Prostaglandins & Other Lipid Mediators, 2002
Cyclopentenone prostaglandins (PGs), such as 15-deoxy-12,13-didehydro-14,15-didehydro-PGJ2 (15d-delta(12,14)-PDJ2), 12,13-didehydro-PGJ2 (delta12-PGJ2) and PGA2, are actively transported into cells and promote the expression of a variety of genes. The ultimate metabolite of PGD2, 15d-delta(12,14)-PGJ2, specifically binds to a nuclear receptor, the ...

Specific receptors for prostaglandins in airways

Prostaglandins, 1980
The relative bronchomotor activities of prostaglandins (PG) E1, E2, F2 alpha, F2 beta and I2 and of three synthetic E prostaglandin analogues (TR4161, TR4367 and TR4752) were determined on a large number of isolated preparations of guinea-pig trachea and human bronchial muscle. Each prostaglandin was capable of eliciting both contraction and relaxation,

Activation of nuclear receptors by prostaglandins

Thrombosis Research, 2003
Deletion of membrane receptors for prostaglandins has revealed their importance in diverse biological systems. Some evidence has accrued to support the contention that they may also ligate nuclear receptors, particularly peroxisomal proliferator activator receptors (PPARs).

Prostaglandins and their receptors

1996
Euler’s description that seminal vesicles contain a prostate-derived hypotonic activity [1] causing various pharmacological effects initiated an intense search for the active entities, the prostaglandins. This marks the beginning of the study of paracrine hormonal regulation in tissues. Research revealed that arachidonic acid, which is cleaved from the

Prostaglandin receptors in rat kidney

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1984
The physiological effects of prostaglandins (PGs) are mediated through their interactions with specific binding sites (receptors) on effector cells. Since such receptors potentially regulate the action of PGs on the kidney, the distribution and properties of renal PG receptors in the rat were examined.
