This compound is synthesized in various tissues like the kidneys lungs and brain primarily by the enzymatic action of cyclooxygenase (COX) on arachidonic acid. As a member of the prostaglandin family PGE2 functions as an important signaling molecule and mediator of inflammation. Researchers often use PGE2 ELISA kits and assays including those specific for mouse PGE2 to measure its levels accurately in biological samples.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nAs a potent mediator PGE2 plays roles in inflammation fever induction and regulation of vascular tone. It exerts its effects through specific G-protein-coupled receptors (EP1 EP2 EP3 and EP4) on the surface of target cells. Although not part of a strict protein complex PGE2 works in conjunction with other inflammatory mediators including cytokines and other prostaglandins. It influences cellular activities by modulating the intracellular cyclic AMP levels and calcium fluxes.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nPGE2 is an important component of the prostaglandin biosynthesis pathway and the broader inflammatory signal transduction pathway. Within these pathways it relates to the COX enzymes specifically COX-2 which converts arachidonic acid into PGH2 the precursor of PGE2. This metabolic pathway highlights the interplay between PGE2 and other prostanoids impacting inflammatory responses and homeostatic processes.\u003cbr\u003e\nPGE2 has associations with conditions such as arthritis and cancer. Elevated levels of PGE2 are often found in inflamed tissues and have been linked to the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis by promoting inflammation and pain. In cancer PGE2 can encourage tumoral growth by modulating the immune response and promoting angiogenesis. In these contexts the interactions of PGE2 with enzymes like COX-2 and cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) further connect its roles to disease progression and potential therapeutic targets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843631206569,"sku":"ab316906","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab316906","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
