Product Data Sheet
Leukotriene A4 methyl ester
Catalog No. A88514
Leukotriene A4 methyl ester is a stable biochemical assay reagent derived from arachidonic acid through the action of 5-lipoxygenase. It serves as an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes, including LTB4 and LTC4, which play significant roles in inflammatory responses and immune modulation. This compound is particularly useful in research applications focused on leukocyte function, transcellular metabolism, and the investigation of lipoxin production pathways. The methyl ester form allows for ease of handling and controlled hydrolysis to the biologically active free acid as required for experimental processes.
