Bicyclo Prostaglandin E2
Cayman ChemicalBicyclo PGE2 is a stable, base-catalyzed transformation product of 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGE2. 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGE2 itself is a metabolite of PGE2 found in human plasma at a median level of 20-25 pg/ml. Due to the inherent instability of 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGE2, it is advisable to quantify…

tetranor-PGAM
Cayman ChemicalA dehydration product of tetranor-PGEM that can be measured as a surrogate for tetranor-PGEM levels in urine.
-
Octyl-a-ketoglutarate
Cayman ChemicalA stable, cell-permeable form of α-ketoglutarate which accumulates rapidly and preferentially in cells with a dysfunctional TCA cycle; stimulates PHD activity and increases HIF-1α turnover when used at 1 mM; competitively blocks succinate- or fumarate-mediated inhibition of PHD.
