Hexaenoic acid

Catalog No.: A74344
Endogenous Metabolite
Hexaenoic acid is a very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (VLCPUFA) that serves as an endogenous metabolite in cellular membranes, particularly in ceramides and sphingomyelin. This C34:6 compound is predominantly found in the retina, sperm, and brain tissues. Its specific biological activities remain largely uncharacterized, but research suggests that it may play a role in the activation of protein kinase C, making it a candidate for studies on lipid signaling and cellular function.
