Prostaglandin F1α
Prostaglandin F1α (PGF1α) is an endogenous COX-derived metabolite of DGLA and prostacyclin. It functions as a lipid mediator that induces dose-dependent smooth muscle contraction. This compound is utilized in cardiovascular, pulmonary, and reproductive research, both in vitro and in vivo, to study prostanoid signaling pathways.
