Bioactivity | Very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLCPUFAs) are important components of ceramides and sphingomyelin and are present in retina, sperm, and brain. Tetratriaconta-16(Z),19(Z),22(Z),25(Z),28(Z),31(Z)-hexaenoic acid is a C34:6 VLCPUFA whose specific biological actions are largely unknown. This VLCPUFA, along with others, has been investigated for its role in activating protein kinase C. |
