Prostaglandin F2&alpha, (PGF2&alpha,) is a widely distributed prostaglandin occurring in many species. It causes contraction of vascular, bronchial, intestinal, and myometrial smooth muscle, and also exhibits potent luteolytic activity. Mechanistically, it acts via activation of the FP (prostaglandin F2&alpha,) receptor to raise intracellular calcium, driving smooth muscle contraction and facilitating luteolysis. This makes it a versatile agent both for controlled reproductive interventions and as a key tool in physiological and pharmacological research. PGF2&alpha, exhibits its receptor mediated physiological activity at 50-100nM.
