    Product Description

    Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) activates four E prostanoid (EP) receptors, EP1-4. EP4 is a Gs protein-coupled receptor that, by elevating the second messenger cAMP, plays important roles in bone formation and resorption, cancer, and atherosclerosis.1,2,3 CJ-42794 is a selective antagonist of EP4 (Ki = 3.16 nM) that less potently binds EP2 (Ki = 631 nM) and has no affinity for EP1 or EP3.4,5 It has minimal effect on numerous other receptors, enzymes, or channels.5 Unlike general inhibitors of PGE2 synthesis, CJ-42794 does not cause damage to rat gastrointestinal mucosa.4 Instead, it delays the healing of gastric ulcers in mice and rats, suppressing the upregulation of VEGF expression and angiogenesis.6 CJ-42794 blocks pain and inflammation in rat models of arthritis as well as gastric tumorigenesis in mice.7,8

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
