Docosanoid

id: docosanoid-258-388416
title: Docosanoid
text: In biochemistry, docosanoids are signaling molecules made by the metabolism of twenty-two-carbon fatty acids (EFAs), especially the omega-3 fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) by lipoxygenase, cyclooxygenase, and cytochrome P450 enzymes. Other docosanoids are metabolites of n-3 docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), n-6 DPA, and docosatetraenoic acid. Prominent docosanoid metabolites of DPA and n-3 DHA are members of the specialized pro-resolving mediators class of polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolite
