11β-Prostaglandin F2α-d9 (11β-PGF2α-d9) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of 11β-PGF2α (Item No. 16520) by GC- or LC-MS. 11β-PGF2α is the primary metabolite of PGD2 (Item No. 12010).1 It is formed from PGD2 via the NADPH-dependent aldo-keto reductase PGF synthase (PGFS; Item No. 10007940) in the liver or lung.2 11β-PGF2α induces contraction of isolated cat iris sphincter, which endogenously expresses high levels of PGF2α (FP) receptors, with an EC50 value of 0.045 µM.1 It also induces contraction of isolated human bronchial smooth muscle when used at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 30 µM.3 11β-PGF2α (0.1 and 1 µM) induces phosphorylation of ERK and CREB, as well as increases the viability of MCF-7 breast cancer cells stably expressing the FP receptor when used at concentrations of 0.1 and 1 µM.4
