(±)12-HEPE

SKU: orb1985142

Description

(±)12-HEPE is a racemic mixture of 12(S)- and 12(R)-HEPE isomers formed non-enzymatically from EPA. It exhibits biological activity, likely through the 12(S) isomer, functioning as a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation and vascular contraction in vitro, comparable to 12-HETE. This makes it a relevant tool for research in cardiovascular pharmacology and eicosanoid signaling.
