| Uses |
Important polyunsaturated fatty acid of the marine food chain that serves as a precursor for the prostaglandin-3 and thromboxane-3 families. It differs from arachidonic acid (the eicosatetraenoic acid that is a precursor for the prostaglandin and thromboxane-2 families) by the extra double bond between the third and fourth carbons from the “methyl end” of the molecule. Antilipemic. |
| Definition |
ChEBI: An icosapentaenoic acid having five cis-double bonds at positions 5, 8, 11, 14 and 17. |
