15(R)-15-methyl Prostaglandin D2
Cayman ChemicalThe physiological actions of PGD2 include regulation of sleep, lowering of body temperature, inhibition of platelet aggregation and relaxation of vascular smooth muscle. PGD2 mediates its effects by 2 distinct G-protein-coupled receptors, DP1 and CRTH2/DP2. 15(R)-15-methyl PGD2 is a potent,…
