    Product Description

    11S(12R)-EET is an oxylipin and a metabolite of arachidonic acid (Item Nos. 90010 | 90010.1 | 10006607).1,2 It is selectively formed from arachidonic acid by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP2B2 over CYP2C23 and CYP2C24, as well as CYP2C9 over CYP2C8. 11S(12R)-EET (50 nM) activates large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (KCa1.1/BK) in isolated rat coronary small arterial smooth muscle cells.3 It induces dilation of precontracted isolated canine epicardial arterioles (EC50 = 20 pM) and denuded porcine subepicardial arterioles (EC50 = 10 pM). Unlike 11R(12S)-EET (Item No. 9004344), 11S(12R)-EET does not inhibit the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) in a patch-clamp assay using isolated rat cortical collecting duct tubules or induce migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).4,5
