13,14-dihydro-15-keto Prostaglandin A₂ Lipid Maps MS Standard

Cayman Chemical Item Number 10007200

13,14-dh-15-k PGA₂ (CAS 74872-89-2)

See more	Prostaglandins (517)

Description

PGE₂ is metabolized rapidly to 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGE₂, which is present in the plasma of humans and other mammals. 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGA₂ results from the non-enzymatic dehydration of 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGE₂, a process which is accelerated by the presence of albumin.^1,2 Further decomposition of 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGA₂ by the intentional addition of base produces bicyclo PGE₂, a stable marker of PGE₂ biosynthesis.²
