Description
5(S), 6(R)-DiHETE is a dihydroxy polyunsaturated fatty acid and a nonenzymatic hydrolysis product of leukotriene A4 (LTA4). Mouse liver cytosolic epoxide hydrolase catalyzes the conversion of LTA4 to 5(S), 6(R)-DiHETE. It is a weak LTD4 receptor agonist in guinea pig lung membranes. It induces guinea pig iluM contraction with an ED50 value of 1.3uM
