w-3-Arachidonic acid

Description:
W-3-Arachidonic acid, also known as 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid, is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that plays a crucial role in various biological processes. It is a member of the omega-3 fatty acid family, characterized by its long carbon chain and multiple double bonds, specifically four in the case of arachidonic acid. This fatty acid is essential for the synthesis of eicosanoids, which are signaling molecules involved in inflammation, immunity, and other physiological functions. W-3-Arachidonic acid is typically found in animal tissues and certain algae, contributing to cellular membrane fluidity and function. Its structure includes a carboxylic acid group at one end and a long hydrocarbon tail, which influences its reactivity and interactions with other biomolecules. The CAS number 24880-40-8 uniquely identifies this compound in chemical databases, facilitating research and regulatory processes. Overall, w-3-Arachidonic acid is significant in nutrition and health, particularly in relation to cardiovascular health and inflammatory responses.
