(11Z,14Z)-Eicosadienoic acid

CAS: 5598-38-9

Ref. 3D-FAA59838

Product Information

• Name: (11Z,14Z)-Eicosadienoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (11Z,14Z)-Eicosadienoic acid is a bioactive lipid molecule, which is a polyunsaturated fatty acid derived from natural sources such as marine organisms and certain plant oils. It acts primarily through incorporation into cell membranes where it modulates membrane fluidity and serves as a precursor for bioactive lipid mediators. These mediators play a crucial role in inflammatory pathways, potentially exerting anti-inflammatory effects through competitive inhibition of enzymes involved in the eicosanoid synthesis pathway.
