Description
5(S)-HEPE is produced by 5-LO catalyzed oxidation of EPA. While the synthesis of 5(S)-HEPE from EPA by tissue homogenates has been demonstrated, the biological activity of 5(S)-HEPE is poorly documented.{1144,1145} It remains to be determined whether this activity differs substantially from that of 5(S)-HETE (Catalog No. 34230).
