Arachidonoyl Chloride(CAT: C000534) is a derivative of Arachidonic Acid, an essential fatty acid with crucial physiological roles. Its mode of action includes its involvement in the biosynthesis of biologically active molecules such as prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes. Arachidonic Acid is naturally found in various tissues, including the liver, brain, and glandular organs, and is a component of animal phospholipids. Its presence in depot fats of animals and, to a lesser extent, in human depot fats highlights its significance in human and animal metabolism.
