MeSH Heading: Arachidonic Acid
Tree Number(s): D10.251.355.255.100.100; D10.251.355.310.166.100
Unique ID: D016718
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D016718
Annotation: do not confuse with ARACHIDONIC ACIDS
Scope Note: An unsaturated, essential fatty acid. It is found in animal and human fat as well as in the liver, brain, and glandular organs, and is a constituent of animal phosphatides. It is formed by the synthesis from dietary linoleic acid and is a precursor in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes.
