Biological Activity
Description
IC50 & Target
EC50: 150 nM (Ca2+ in NG108-15 cells)[2].
In Vitro
Prostaglandin E2-1-glyceryl ester is rapidly hydrolyzed in rat plasma to generate PGE2 (t1⁄2 = 14 s) but is only slowly metabolized in human plasma (t1⁄2 = 10 min)[1].

Ca2+ Staining Technique
Ca2+ staining is an experimental technique that utilizes specific fluorescent probes (such as Fluo-4 AM, Fura-2, etc.) to qualitatively or quantitatively detect dynamic changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations; this is achieved by monitoring the changes in fluorescent signals generated when these probes bind to free intracellular calcium ions. The underlying principle relies primarily on the presence of chelating groups within the probe's molecular structure that possess high affinity for calcium ions.
