The Urinary Prostacyclin ELISA 5 Plate kit is a colorimetric competitive enzyme immunoassay kit for the quantitative determination of urinary prostacyclin metabolites in culture supernatants and urine from any species with results in < 3 hours. Absorbance is read at 405 nm. Quantitate PGI2 by measuring the stable metabolites in one simple assay.

Prostacyclin (PGI2) is involved in platelet aggregation, vasoconstriction, and reproductive functions (1-3). PGI2 has a half life of 60 minutes in plasma but only 2 to 3 minutes in buffer (3). The production of PGI2 is typically monitored by measurement of 6k-PGF1α and 2,3d-6k-PGF1α. 6-keto-PGF1α is produced by the non-enzymatic hydration of PGI2, and is further metabolized in urine to the 2,3-dinor derivative. A number of pharmaceuticals alter and/or inhibit the synthesis of PGI2
(4). Methods to measure PGI2
in urine typically involve HPLC5
, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (6), or radioimmunoassay (7,8)
and enzyme immunoassay (9) for 6k-PGF1α. Please see instructions for use for references.
