NCIt definition : A prostaglandin with 2 double bonds that is generated by the action of prostaglandin
E synthases on prostaglandin H2. Prostaglandin E2 is a mediator of active inflammation,
and has important biologic effects including potent vasodilation, smooth muscle relaxation,
stimulation of osteoclast-dependent bone resorption and induction of both pain and
fever. It is also used as a vaginal suppository during labor to soften the cervix
and promote uterine contractions.;
