Gene context of Unoprostone

  • And finally, deesterified unoprostone carboxylate was found to be transported by OATP1A2, OATP2B1 and OATP4A1 with approximate K(m)-values of 93, 91 and 132 microm, respectively [15].
  • The endothelin-induced increase (679 +/- 102 nM), however, was almost completely (P < 0.01) blocked by unoprostone (178 +/- 40 nM) [6].
  • In addition, unoprostone interacts with the maxi-K channel [6].
  • Lastly, unoprostone has vasorelaxant properties, evidenced by increased choroidal blood flow and inhibition of vasoconstrictors such as endothelin-1 [21].
  • CONCLUSIONS: The unoprostone metabolite M1 protects retinal neuro-glial progenitor R28 cells from apoptosis induced by serum deprivation via the PI3K and PKG pathways [12].
