Heneicosapentaenoic Acid methyl ester
Heneicosapentaenoic Acid (HPA) is an n-3 fatty acid found in algae and fish oils, structurally analogous to EPA but with a Δ6 first double bond. It is utilized in lipid metabolism research to study double bond positional effects, effectively incorporating into phospholipids and triacylglycerols in vivo while inhibiting arachidonic acid synthesis.
