Butaprost
Butaprost, a structural analog of PGE2, is a selective agonist for the EP2 receptor subtype. EP2 receptors are expressed on human neutrophils and on respiratory, vascular, and uterine smooth muscle[1,2]. Butaprost binds with about 1/10 the affinity of PGE2 to the recombinant murine EP2 receptor, and does not bind appreciably to any of the other murine EP receptors or DP, TP, FP, or IP receptors[3]. Butaprost has frequently been used to pharmacologically define the EP receptor expression profile of various human and animal tissues and cells[4].
