20-HYDROXY PROSTAGLANDIN F2ALPHA Usage And Synthesis

Description

20-hydroxy Prostaglandin F_2α (20-hydroxy PGF_2α) is the ω-oxidation product of PGF_2α. Cultured type II alveolar cells from pregnant rabbits metabolize exogenous PGF_2α via microsomal cytochrome P450 ω-oxidation, producing 20-hydroxy PGF_2α and its 15-hydroxy PGDH metabolites. Cells from male rabbits exhibit only the 15-hydroxy PGDH pathway.¹

Definition

ChEBI: 20-Hydroxy-PGF2alpha is a prostanoid.
