Description

Tetratriaconta-16(Z),19(Z),22(Z),25(Z),28(Z),31(Z)-Hexaenoic Acid is a highly unsaturated, very long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (VLC-PUFA) with a 34-carbon backbone and six cis-configured double bonds. This unique structure makes it a valuable biochemical precursor and research tool for studying lipid metabolism and signaling pathways. It is primarily utilized by researchers and developers in the life sciences, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries for advanced lipidomic studies and the synthesis of specialized pro-resolving mediators.

Application

• Biochemical Research: A critical standard and substrate for investigating the biosynthesis and function of very long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in cellular models.
• Lipidomics & Metabolomics: Used as a reference compound in mass spectrometry for the identification and quantification of complex lipid species in biological samples.
• Pharmaceutical R&D: Serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of novel lipid-based therapeutic agents and specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) involved in inflammation resolution.
• Nutraceutical Development: Explored as a potential high-value ingredient for advanced dietary supplements targeting specific metabolic pathways.
• Academic Research: Employed in universities and research institutes for studies on membrane fluidity, lipid rafts, and fatty acid elongation/desaturation enzyme kinetics.
