(4E,7E,10E,13E,16E)-docosa-4,7,10,13,16-pentaenoic acid

Description:
(4E,7E,10E,13E,16E)-docosa-4,7,10,13,16-pentaenoic acid, commonly known as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), is a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid. It is characterized by a long carbon chain consisting of 22 carbon atoms and six double bonds, which are in the cis configuration. DHA is primarily found in marine sources, particularly in fish oils, and is a crucial component of phospholipids in cell membranes, especially in the brain and retina. Its structural configuration contributes to its fluidity and functionality in biological membranes. DHA plays a significant role in various physiological processes, including anti-inflammatory responses and neurodevelopment. It is also essential for cognitive function and visual acuity. Due to its health benefits, DHA is often included in dietary supplements and infant formulas. The substance is typically a colorless to pale yellow oil and is soluble in organic solvents but less soluble in water. Its stability can be affected by exposure to light and heat, necessitating careful storage conditions to maintain its integrity.
