HTRF Prostaglandin E2 Detection Kit, 500 Assay Points

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is produced in multiple cell types from PGH2, a primary product of the arachidonic acid metabolism, via the prostaglandin synthase. PGE2 displays several biological functions, such as vasodilatation and smooth muscle relaxation, and is involved in pro- and anti-inflammation pathways. PGE2 production is a commonly used method for the detection of COX-1 and COX-2 modulation. The PGE2 kit is a highly sensitive method for quantifying PGE2, either in cell supernatant or directly in whole cells.
