Abstract excerpt
Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), an endogenous somnogen, is a unique PG that is secreted into the cerebrospinal fluid. PGD2 is a relatively fragile molecule and should be transported to receptors localized in the basal forebrain without degradation. However, it remains unclear how PGD2 is stably carried to such remote receptors. Here, we demonstrate that the PGD2-synthesizing enzyme, Lipocalin-type prostaglandin D...
