    Product Description

    12-OxoETE is synthesized by human platelets and Aplysia nervous tissue after incubation with arachidonic acid.1,2 Microsomal fractions of various tissues will reduce 12-oxoETE to 12(S)-HETE or a mixture of 12(S)- and 12(R)-HETE.1,3 12-OxoETE induces a rapid, dose dependent increase of cytoplasmic free calcium via a leukotriene B4 receptor or a common activation sequence.4

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
