Description
ω-
3 Arachidonic acid is a rare PUFA found in trace amounts in dietary sources. ω-
3 Fatty acids are now known to be essential for infant growth and development and protect against heart disease, thrombosis, hypertension, and inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. In human platelet membranes, ω-
3 arachidonic acid inhibits arachidonoyl-
CoA synthetase with a K
i of 14 μM. It also inhibits arachidonoyl-
CoA synthetase in calf brain extracts with an IC
50 value of about 5 μM.
Uses
(all-cis)-8,11,14,17-Eicosatetraenoic Acid (ω-3 Arachidonic acid) is a rare PUFA found in trace amounts in dietary sources. ω-3 Fatty acids are known to be essential for infant development and protect against heart disease, hypertension, thrombosis, and autoimmune and inflammatory disorder. In human platelet membranes, ω-3 Arachidonic acid inhibits arachidonoyl-CoA synthetase.
