Q

prostacyclin (PGI2) mechanism

A

Mechanistically, PGI2 binds to the PGI2 receptor which is a Gs protein coupled receptor which signals via adenylyl cyclase to produce cAMP. cAMP activates protein kinase A which promotes the phosphorylation and inhibition of myosin light chain kinase which leads to vascular smooth muscle relaxation and vasodilation.
