To be used in conjunction with Caymans Prostaglandin Transporter (C-Term) Polyclonal Antibody (Item No. 11860) to block protein-antibody complex formation during immunochemical analysis of prostaglandin transporter Prostaglandins (PGs) are signaling molecules that modulate physiological or pathologic functions such as platelet aggregation, vascular tone, gastric cytoprotection, uterine contraction, inflammation, cancer and Alzheimers disease.1,2,3,4,5,6 PG transporter (PGT) is generally expressed in endothelial and epithelial cells. Transport of extracellular PGs into cells occurs via a specific PGT, allowing PG oxidation by 15-hydroxy PG dehydrogenase or binding with their respective receptor(s).7,8,9
