Product Data Sheet
Gamma-Linolenic acid
Catalog No. A24115
Gamma-linolenic acid (γ-linolenic acid, GLA) is an orally active omega-6 unsaturated fatty acid with broad pharmacological activities. It exhibits anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway and suppressing the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and JNK, key mediators of inflammatory responses. GLA also induces apoptosis in cancer cells, contributing to its anticancer potential. Additionally, it possesses antioxidant properties and has been shown to improve memory function, suggesting neuroprotective benefits. These multifunctional effects position gamma-linolenic acid as a promising compound for research in inflammation, oncology, and neurological disorders.
