5-OxoETE-d7

5-OxoETE-d₇ contains seven deuterium atoms at the 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, and 15 positions. It is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of 5-oxoETE by GC- or LC-mass spectrometry. 5-OxoETE is a polyunsaturated keto acid formed by the oxidation of 5-HETE in human neutrophils.¹ It stimulates cytosolic calcium levels in neutrophils with an EC₅₀ value of 2 nM.² 5-OxoETE selectively stimulates the migration and degranulation of eosinophils and activates the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway in stimulated neutrophils.^3,4
