5-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic Acid
5-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE, 5(''S'')-HETE, or 5''S''-HETE) is an eicosanoid, i.e. a metabolite of arachidonic acid. It is produced by diverse cell types in humans and other animal species. These cells may then metabolize the formed 5(''S'')-HETE to 5-oxo-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE), 5(''S''),15(''S'')-dihydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5(''S''),15(''S'')-diHETE), or 5-oxo-15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-15(''S'')-HETE). 5(''S'')-HETE, 5-oxo-ETE, 5(''S''),15(''S'')-diHETE, and 5-oxo-15(''S'')-HETE, while differing in potencies, share a common mechanism for activating cells and a common set of activities. They are therefore a family of structurally related metabolites. Animal studies and a limited set of human studies suggest that this family of metabolites serve as hormone-like autocrine and paracrine signalling agents that contribute to the up-regulation of acute inflammatory and allergic responses. In this capacity, these metabolites may be members of the i ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

12-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic Acid
12-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) is a derivative of the 20 carbon polyunsaturated fatty acid, arachidonic acid, containing a hydroxyl residue at carbon 12 and a 5''Z'',''8Z'',10''E'',14''Z'' cis–trans configuration (Z=cis, E=trans) in its four double bonds. It was first found as a product of arachidonic acid metabolism made by human and bovine platelets through their 12''S''-lipoxygenase (i.e. ALOX12) enzyme(s). However, the term 12-HETE is ambiguous in that it has been used to indicate not only the initially detected "S" stereoisomer, 12''S''-hydroxy-5''Z'',''8Z'',10''E'',14''Z''-eicosatetraenoic acid (12(''S'')-HETE or 12''S''-HETE), made by platelets, but also the later detected "R" stereoisomer, 12(''R'')-hydroxy-5''Z'',''8Z'',10''E'',14''Z''-eicosatetraenoic acid (also termed 12(''R'')-HETE or 12''R''-HETE) made by other tissues through their 12''R''-lipoxygenase enzyme, ALOX12B. The two isomers, either directly or after being further metabolized, have been sugge ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

15-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic Acid
15-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (also termed 15-HETE, 15(''S'')-HETE, and 15''S''-HETE) is an eicosanoid, i.e. a metabolite of arachidonic acid. Various cell types metabolize arachidonic acid to 15(''S'')-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15(''S'')-HpETE). This initial hydroperoxide product is extremely short-lived in cells: if not otherwise metabolized, it is rapidly reduced to 15(''S'')-HETE. Both of these metabolites, depending on the cell type which forms them, can be further metabolized to 15-oxo-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-oxo-ETE), 5(''S''),15(''S'')-dihydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acid (5(''S''),15(''S'')-diHETE), 5-oxo-15(''S'')-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-15(''S'')-HETE), a subset of specialized pro-resolving mediators viz., the lipoxins, a class of pro-inflammatory mediators, the eoxins, and other products that have less well-defined activities and functions. Thus, 15(''S'')-HETE and 15(''S'')-HpETE, in addition to having intrinsic biological activities, are key prec ...
