Where does PGE2 come from and how is it made?

06 June 2014 1 637 Report

I have heard that prostaglandin E2 is a semen derivative. Does that mean that it is found largely in semen? How much prostaglandin E2 is in semen?

Pavel Trávník

Prostaglandins E and F are produced mainly in seminal vesicles and they are present in the sperm fluid in much higher concentration than in other tissues. The concentration is approx. micrograms per militer.

Best regards.
