Product Description: Hexaenoic acid-d6 is deuterium labeled Hexaenoic acid. Very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLCPUFAs) are important components of ceramides and sphingomyelin and are present in retina, sperm, and brain. Tetratriaconta-16(Z),19(Z),22(Z),25(Z),28(Z),31(Z)-hexaenoic acid is a C34:6 VLCPUFA whose specific biological actions are largely unknown. This VLCPUFA, along with others, has been investigated for its role in activating protein kinase C[1][2].
Formula: C34H50D6O2
