Prostaglandin F2 Alpha ELISA kits are assays designed to detect the prostaglandin type F2 alpha (PGF2α). A derivative of arachidonic acid, prostaglandin F2 alpha is involved in uterine contraction, vasoconstriction and bronchoconstriction. It is released from the uterus in response to oxytocin and is used clinically to induce labour or terminate pregnancy. PGF2α has been associated with conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes. Visit the supplier page for more information about detection target, range and reactivity.
