  • Prostaglandin D synthase (PGDS) catalyzes the isomerization of PGH2 to produce PGD2. PGD2 induces sleep, regulates nociception, inhibits platelet aggregation and acts as an allergic mediator. Two distinct types of PGDS have been identified, namely the lipocalin-type enzyme (β-trace) and the hematopoietic enzyme.{8448,4387,8453} Lipocalin-type PGDS is localized in the central nervous system and male genital organs of various mammals and the human heart. This enzyme has been identified as β-trace, which is a major protein in human cerebrospinal fluid.{1543,4387} Hematopoietic PGDS is widely distributed in the peripheral tissues and is localized in the antigen-presenting cells, mast cells, and megakaryocytes.{8448} This enzyme, which requires glutathione for activity, belongs to the sigma-class of Glutathione-S-Transferases and is approximately 23 kDa in size.{8451,8453} Cayman Chemical’s H-PGDS Monoclonal Antibody can be used for western blot and immunohistochemical analysis for H-PGDS on samples of human and murine origin. Other applications for use of this antibody have not yet been tested.

  • Prostaglandin D synthase (PGDS) is a glutathione-dependent enzyme and member of the sigma class of glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) that catalyzes the conversion of PGH2 (Item No. 17020) to PGD2 (Item No. 12010), an eicosanoid that has numerous biological functions, including vasorelaxation, recruitment of inflammatory cells, and inhibition of platelet aggregation.{13033,24779,57198} There are two types of PGDS: lipocalin PGDS (L-PGDS; Item Nos. 10006788 | 10006787 | 10010548) and hematopoietic PGDS (H-PGDS; Item Nos. 10006593 | 10004347).{57198} H-PDGS is found in peripheral tissues and immune cells, including Th2 cells, antigen-presenting cells, mast cells, megakaryocytes, and eosinophils, where it is localized to the cytosol.{24779} H-PGDS activity is increased by a variety of stimuli, including LPS, anti-IgE antibodies, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA; Item No. 10008014), ionomycin (Item No. 10004974), and inflammatory cytokines such as IL-13, IL-3, or IL-4.{57198} siRNA silencing of Hpgds decreases LPS-induced production of PGD2 in mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs).{25435} Transgenic overexpression of HPGDS in mice increases croton oil-induced ear swelling and PGD2 production, and genome-wide deletion of Hpgds exacerbates hypotension and vascular permeability in a mouse model of anaphylaxis.{57266,57267} H-PGDS protein levels are increased in the nasal mucosa of patients with allergic rhinitis, and HPGDS SNPs have been found in individuals with asthma.{57198,13033} Cayman’s Prostaglandin D Synthase (hematopoietic-type; mouse) Monoclonal Antibody can be used for immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot (WB) applications. The antibody recognizes H-PGDS at 23 kDa from human and mouse samples.

  • Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) is synthesized by hematopoietic-type PGD-synthase (H-PGDS) in mast cells and is released in large quantities during allergic and asthmatic anaphylaxis. H-PGDS is therefore a key target for development of selective, potent inhibitors for therapeutic use against these diseases. Cayman’s H-PGDS FP-Based Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit – Green provides a rapid, accurate assay for screening H-PGDS inhibitors. In this assay, a H-PGDS inhibitor-fluorescein conjugate serves as a specific fluorescent probe for the enzyme. Displacement of the probe by any unlabeled H-PGDS inhibitor leads to a decrease in the fluorescence polarization (FP) state of the probe, providing a direct signal for binding of the inhibitor to the active site of the enzyme. This assay is robust (Z’ of 0.75) and eliminates the need for the traditional multistep assay that requires the use of highly unstable PGH2. The assay has been validated using several known inhibitors of H-PGDS with IC50 values ranging from nanomolar to millimolar concentrations.

  • Prostaglandin D synthase (PGDS) catalyzes the isomerization of PGH2 to produce PGD2, a potent lipid mediator involved in sleep regulation, nociception, platelet aggregation, and allergic and inflammatory responses. Lipocalin-type PGDS (a.k.a. β-trace) is a homodimer with each subunit ranging in size from 20-31 kDa, depending on the extent of glycosylation. L-PGDS has two functions: it catalyzes the conversion of PGH2 to PGD2 and acts as a carrier protein for lipid-like molecules (i.e., retinoids and thyroid hormones).{13130} L-PGDS is present in a variety of body fluids including cerebrospinal fluid, seminal fluid, and plasma. Cayman’s L-PGDS (human) ELISA is an immunometric (i.e., sandwich) ELISA with a standard curve ranging from 1.56-100 ng/ml and a limit of detection of 1.56 ng/ml. Inter- and intra-assay CV’s of less than 15% may be achieved at most concentrations. This assay has been validated using cerebrospinal fluid which contains approximately 12-30 µg/ml of L-PGDS.

  • Prostaglandin D2 ethanolamide (PGD2-EA) is a bioactive lipid produced by the sequential metabolism of anandamide (arachidonoyl ethanolamide; Item Nos. 90050 | 10007270) by cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, in particular by COX-2, and PGD synthase.{11045,22752,22753} The biosynthesis of PGD2-EA from anandamide can also be increased when anandamide metabolism is diminished by deletion of fatty acid amide hydrolase.{12142} PGD2-EA is inactive against recombinant prostanoid receptors, including the D prostanoid receptor.{12144} It increases the frequency of miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents in primary cultured hippocampal neurons, an effect which is the opposite of that induced by anandamide.{22753} PGD2-EA also induces apoptosis in colorectal carcinoma cell lines.{22752} PGD2-EA MaxSpec® standard is a quantitative grade standard of PGD2-EA (Item No. 12012) that has been prepared specifically for mass spectrometry or any application where quantitative reproducibility is required. The solution has been prepared gravimetrically and is supplied in a deactivated glass ampule sealed under argon. The concentration was verified by comparison to an independently prepared calibration standard. This PGD2-EA MaxSpec® standard is guaranteed to meet identity, purity, stability, and concentration specifications and is provided with a batch-specific certificate of analysis. Ongoing stability testing is performed to ensure the concentration remains accurate throughout the shelf life of the product. Note: The amount of solution added to the vial is in excess of the listed amount. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately measure volumes for preparation of calibration standards. Follow recommended storage and handling conditions to maintain product quality.

  • Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) is biosynthesized in the brain by a soluble, 26 kDa glutathione-independent lipocalin-type PGD2 synthase. This PGD2 accumulates in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), where it induces physiologic sleep in rats and humans. PGD2 is also synthesized in mast cells and leukocytes by a cellular, myeloid-type, glutathione-dependent PGD synthase. This PGD2 which is formed in the intracellular and vascular compartments is rapidly metabolized to 11β-PGF2α and other metabolites. Measurement of the parent eicosanoid PGD2 is appropriate in cell culture lysates and in CSF, where concentrations of several hundred pg/ml have been measured. Cayman’s PGD2 Express ELISA Kit is a competitive assay that can be used for quantification of PGD2 in cell culture lysates and enzymatic reactions. This ELISA offers the convenience of a fast assay with a two hour incubation time and one hour development time, while still achieving an assay range of approximately 117.2-15,000 pg/ml and a sensitvity (80% B/B0) of approximately 350 pg/ml.

Similarly, antigenic protein conjugates of PGD2, synthesized for the production of antisera, show considerable amounts of decomposition. Thus, the resulting antibody response is heterogeneous with poor specificity. This makes PGD2 assay systems based on the parent compound unreliable and difficult to interpret. This PGD2-MOX ELISA is based on the conversion of PGD2 to a stable MOX derivative. Treatment of the sample with methoxylamine hydrochloride (MOX HCl) converts PGD2 into PGD2-MOX, preventing its further chemical degradation. The antiserum used in the assay was developed using conjugates of this derivative and is very specific for PGD2-MOX. The assay has been validated against stable isotope dilution GC/MS. Measurements using both techniques on identical samples showed a correlation coefficient of 0.97.

  • Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is produced by a variety of cell types which, in general, do not contain the enzymes required for metabolism of PGE2. Thus, cultured endothelial cells or osteoblasts will release PGE2 into the culture medium, where it will accumulate without appreciable metabolism. The direct assay of PGE2 from the medium is a good way to measure PGE2 production from these cells. PGE2 is rapidly converted in vivo to its 13,14-dihydro-15-keto metabolite, with more than 90% of circulating PGE2 cleared by a single passage through the lungs. Unfortunately, this metabolite is not chemically stable and undergoes a variable amount of degradation to PGA products. For this reason, blood, urine, or other samples from whole animals or humans often contain very little intact PGE2, and measurement of the metabolites is necessary to provide a reliable estimate of actual PGE2 production. Cayman’s PGE Metabolite assay was developed as a method of converting 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGA2 and 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGE2 to a single, stable derivative that could be easily quantified by ELISA. This assay is therefore the method of choice if the samples in question have undergone extensive metabolism prior to collection.
