Application
Prostaglandin F synthase (PGF synthase) is a member of the aldo-keto reductase superfamily of proteins which catalyze the conversion of aldehydes and ketones to thier corresponding alcohols. Prostaglandin F synthase is used in cancer research since it is upregulated in many cancers such as breast and prostate cancer. PGF synthase is also used to study kidney and renal cell carcinoma .
Biochem/physiol Actions
PGF synthase catalyzes the conversions of 4-androstene-3,17-dione to testosterone, estrone to 17β-estradiol, prostaglandin H2 to PGF2α, and PGD2 to 9α,11β-PGF2. Prostaglandin (PG) F2 is synthesized via three pathways .
Other Notes
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to produce 1 μmol of NADP per minute at 37°C in 50 mM KPO4 pH 7.2 containing 250 μM NADPH and 25 μM 9,10-phenanthrenequinone

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) stimulate in vitro both the force of myometrial contractions and endometrial secretion of PGF2alpha in cattle. Therefore, the goal of this study was to investigate the participation of PGF2alpha in the effect of PCBs on uterine contractility.

Oxytocin (OXT) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF) have been implicated in the control of luteolysis by stimulating endometrial secretion of luteolytic prostaglandin F(2α) (PGF(2α)). Nevertheless, OXT concentration in porcine uterine lumen increases markedly on days 11-12 of pregnancy, and

Prostate and breast cancer are hormone-dependent malignancies of the aging male and female and require the local production of androgens and estrogens to stimulate cell proliferation. Aldo-keto reductases (AKR) play key roles in this process. In the prostate, AKR1C3 (type

Prostaglandin (PG) F2 is synthesized via three pathways from PGE2, PGD2, or PGH2 by PGE 9-ketoreductase, PGD 11-ketoreductase, or PGH 9-, 11-endoperoxide reductase, respectively. The enzymological and molecular biological properties of these enzymes have been reported in work over the

The aim was to study whether bovine myometrial cells have an enzymatic system able to produce prostaglandins (PGs) and whether PGs synthesis is regulated by steroids in a similar manner as endometrial cells. In Experiment 1, immunohistochemical studies localized proteins
