What is Hexadecatetraenoicacid?

Description

4(Z),7(Z),10(Z),13(Z)-Hexadecatetraenoic acid is an unusual polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) generated during the synthesis of docosahexaenoic acid-d₅ . While the physiological properties of this compound are not known, dietary intake of n-3 long-chain PUFAs provides potential health benefits.¹

Definition

ChEBI: (4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z)-hexadeca-4,7,10,13-tetraenoic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that is hexadecanoic acid with unsaturation at positions 4, 7, 10 and 13. It is found in Daphnia galeata. It has a role as a Daphnia galeata metabolite. It is a polyunsaturated fatty acid, a long-chain fatty acid and a straight-chain fatty acid.
