Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc. - all-cis-4,7,10,13,16-Docosapentaenoic acid

all-cis-4,7,10,13,16-Docosapentaenoic acid is a 22-carbon fatty acid that is found in fish oils. all-cis-4,7,10,13,16-Docosapentaenoic acid is a minor constituent of the total serum unsaturated fatty acids in humans, ranging from 0.1 to 1%, and increases on dietary supplementation. all-cis-4,7,10,13,16-Docosapentaenoic acid is an isomer of DPA. all-cis-4,7,10,13,16-Docosapentaenoic acid is an ω-6 fatty acid formed by the elongation and desaturation of arachidonic acid. Levels of all-cis-4,7,10,13,16-Docosapentaenoic acid may be diminished during fatty acid desaturase syndrome which may affect development. Upregulated expression of hepatic elongation of very long fatty acids protein and increased levels of very long chain fatty acids are characteristic of a preneoplastic condition of hepatocellular carcinoma, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. all-cis-4,7,10,13,16-Docosapentaenoic acid is also known as Osbond Acid, all-cis-4,7,10,13,16-DPA, Docosapentaenoate, (All-Z)-4,7,10,13,16-docosapentaenoic acid, and (4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z)-4,7,10,13,16-Docosapentaenoic acid.
