20hydroxy prostaglandin f2α

20-hydroxy Prostaglandin F2α (20-hydroxy PGF2α) is the ω-oxidation product of PGF2α. Cultured type II alveolar cells from pregnant rabbits metabolize exogenous PGF2α via microsomal cytochrome P450 ω-oxidation, producing 20-hydroxy PGF2α and its 15-hydroxy PGDH metabolites. Cells from male rabbits exhibit only the 15-hydroxy PGDH pathway.
