11-Hydroxy-12(E),14(Z)-eicosadienoic acid

CAS: 5598-37-8

11-Hydroxy-12(E),14(Z)-eicosadienoic acid is a bioactive lipid, which is typically derived from enzymatic oxidation of arachidonic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid found in phospholipids of cell membranes. This compound is formed through metabolic pathways involving lipoxygenases, which catalyze the oxygenation of fatty acids to produce hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs) and related derivatives.
