Prostaglandin Transporter (C-Term) Blocking Peptide

To be used in conjunction with Cayman’s 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 Alzheimer’s disease.{310,1606,3947,9898,10008,11300} 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).{1917,3471,21013}
