Dihomo-γ-linolenic acid

Description:
Dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that is classified as an omega-6 fatty acid. It is a derivative of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and is produced in the body through the elongation of GLA. DGLA is characterized by its long carbon chain, consisting of 20 carbon atoms and four double bonds, which are positioned at specific intervals along the chain. This structure contributes to its fluidity and reactivity in biological systems. DGLA plays a crucial role in cellular functions, including the synthesis of eicosanoids, which are signaling molecules that mediate various physiological processes such as inflammation and immune response. It is found in small amounts in certain oils, such as evening primrose oil and borage oil. DGLA is also of interest in nutritional and therapeutic contexts, as it may have potential benefits in managing inflammatory conditions and promoting skin health. Its CAS number, 1783-84-2, is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory contexts.
