Hexaenoic acid
Very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLCPUFA) are crucial components of ceramides and sphingomyelins, found in the retina, sperm, and brain. The compound 14-cis-16 (Z),19 (Z),22 (Z),25 (Z),28 (Z),31 (Z) -hexaenoic acid is a C34:6 VLCPUFA, with its specific biological functions remaining unclear. This VLCPUFA, along with others, has been studied for its potential in activating protein kinase C.
