12(s)hpete

12(S)-HpEPE is a monohydroperoxy polyunsaturated fatty acid produced by the action of 12-lipoxygenase on eicosapentaenoic acid. Although the biological activities of 12(S)-HpEPE have not been well characterized, it is expected to behave similarly to 12(S)-HpETE (Catalog No. 44570).

12(S)-HpETE is a monohydroperoxy polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) produced by the action of platelet or leukocyte 12-lipoxygenase (12-LO) on arachidonic acid. It activates human blood leukocyte 5-LOE. 12(S)-HpETE is the mediator of many biological functions, including induction of c-fos and c-jun, activation of AP-1, and endothelium-dependent vasoconstriction. It mediates the inhibitory synaptic response to FMRF-amide in Aplysia sensory neurons and inhibits Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II from rat brain cortex.
