The naturally occurring prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is known in medicine as dinoprostone.
It has important effects in labor (softens cervix and causes uterine contraction) and also stimulates osteoblasts to release factors that stimulate bone resorption by osteoclasts.
PGE2 is also the prostaglandin that ultimately induces fever.
