Definition
ChEBI: Ethyl (4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z)-docosapentaenoate is a long-chain fatty acid ethyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of (4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z)-docosapentaenoic acid with the hydroxy group of ethanol. It is functionally related to a (4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z)-docosa-4,7,10,13,16-pentaenoic acid.
