    Product Description

    Prostaglandin B3 (PGB3) is a non-enzymatic dehydration product resulting from the treatment of Prostaglandin E3 (PGE3) with strong base. In a structure-activity binding study to determine the affinity of various prostaglandins to human PPARγ, PGB3 exhibited a Ki value greater than 1 mM.1 In contrast, PGB1 and PGB2 showed significantly higher affinity for PPARγ, with Ki values of 26 and 77 µM, respectively, the same assay.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
