15(S)-HpEPE is a monohydroperoxy polyunsaturated fatty acid produced by the action of 15-lipoxygenase on eicosapentaenoic acid. Although the biological activities of 15(S)-HpEPE have not been well characterized, it is expected to behave similarly to 15(S)-HpETE (Catalog No. 44720).
12(S)-HpEPE is a monohydroperoxy polyunsaturated fatty acid produced by the action of 12-lipoxygenase on eicosapentaenoic acid. Although the biological activities of 12(S)-HpEPE have not been well characterized, it is expected to behave similarly to 12(S)-HpETE (Catalog No. 44570).
5(S)-HpEPE is a monohydroperoxy polyunsaturated fatty acid produced by the action of 5-LO on EPA. It is metabolized to LTA5, a key intermediate in the formation of the 5-series leukotrienes. Alternatively, 5(S)-HpEPE is reduced to 5(S)-HEPE by peroxidases.
