Leukotriene B4-d4

Leukotriene B4-d4 (LTB4-d4) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of LTB4 (Cay-20110) by GC- or LC-MS. LTB4 is a dihydroxy fatty acid derived from arachidonic acid through the 5-lipoxygenase pathway. It promotes a number of leukocyte functions including aggregation, stimulation of ion fluxes, enhancement of lysosomal enzyme release, superoxide anion production, chemotaxis, and chemokinesis. In subnanomolar ranges (3.9 x 10-10 M), LTB4 causes chemotaxis and chemokinesis in human PMNL. At higher concentrations, (1.0 x 10-7 M), LTB4 leads to neutrophil aggregation and degranulation as well as superoxide anion production.Formal Name: 5S,12R-dihydroxy-6Z,8E,10E,14Z-eicosatetraenoic-6,7,14,15-d4 acid.
