Arachidonyl alcohol(CAT: M056251) is a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty alcohol derived from arachidonic acid, a key lipid mediator in cellular signaling. As a structural analog of arachidonic acid, it can serve as a biochemical tool to study lipid metabolism, eicosanoid biosynthesis, and endocannabinoid pathways. Arachidonyl alcohol is of particular interest in research involving phospholipid remodeling, oxidative stress, and inflammatory signaling, since it can modulate lipid–protein interactions and membrane properties. Its unique biochemical profile makes it valuable in pharmacological investigations, including studies on inflammation, neurology, and metabolic regulation, as well as in developing novel lipid-based probes or synthetic intermediates.
