Description
8(S)-HETE (8(S)-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid) is a major lipoxygenase product in PMA-treated murine epidermis. It activates mouse keratinocyte protein kinase C with an IC50 of 100 µM. 8(S)-HETE also activates PPARα selectively at concentrations as low as 0.3 µM. Stereochemical assignment of the (S) enantiomer is based on comparison of chiral HPLC retention times to published results
