Metabolite Identification
Common NameProstaglandin E2
DescriptionProstaglandin e2, also known as dinoprostone or PGE2, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as prostaglandins and related compounds. These are unsaturated carboxylic acids consisting of a 20 carbon skeleton that also contains a five member ring, and are based upon the fatty acid arachidonic acid. Thus, prostaglandin E2 is considered to be an eicosanoid lipid molecule. Prostaglandin e2 is a drug which is used for the termination of pregnancy during the second trimester (from the 12th through the 20th gestational week as calculated from the first day of the last normal menstrual period), as well as for evacuation of the uterine contents in the management of missed abortion or intrauterine fetal death up to 28 weeks of gestational age as calculated from the first day of the last normal menstrual period. also used in the management of nonmetastatic gestational trophoblastic disease (benign hydatidiform mole). other indications include improving the cervical inducibility (cervical "ripening") in pregnant women at or near term with a medical or obstetrical need for labor induction, and the management of postpartum hemorrhage. Prostaglandin e2 exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Prostaglandin e2 exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans.

General function:
Lipid transport and metabolism
Specific function:
NADPH-dependent reductase with broad substrate specificity. Catalyzes the reduction of a wide variety of carbonyl compounds including quinones, prostaglandins, menadione, plus various xenobiotics. Catalyzes the reduction of the antitumor anthracyclines doxorubicin and daunorubicin to the cardiotoxic compounds doxorubicinol and daunorubicinol. Can convert prostaglandin E2 to prostaglandin F2-alpha. Can bind glutathione, which explains its higher affinity for glutathione-conjugated substrates. Catalyzes the reduction of S-nitrosoglutathione (By similarity).

General function:
Involved in prostaglandin E receptor activity
Specific function:
Receptor for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). The activity of this receptor is mediated by G(s) proteins that stimulate adenylate cyclase. Has a relaxing effect on smooth muscle. May play an important role in regulating renal hemodynamics, intestinal epithelial transport, adrenal aldosterone secretion, and uterine function (By similarity).

General function:

Specific function:
Receptor for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (PubMed:8396726). The various isoforms have identical ligand binding properties but interact with different second messenger systems: isoform EP3A couples to G(i)/G(o) proteins; isoform EP3B and isoform EP3C couple to G(s), and isoform EP3D couples to G(i), G(s) and G(p) (PubMed:8396726). Required for normal development of fever in response to pyrinogens, including IL1B, prostaglandin E2 and bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Required for normal potentiation of platelet aggregation by prostaglandin E2, and thus plays a role in the regulation of blood coagulation. Required for increased HCO3(-) secretion in the duodenum in response to mucosal acidification, and thereby contributes to the protection of the mucosa against acid-induced ulceration. Not required for normal kidney function, normal urine volume and osmolality (By similarity).
