5(S),6(R)-DiHETE MaxSpec® Standard

5(S),6(R)-DiHETE is a dihydroxy polyunsaturated fatty acid and a nonenzymatic hydrolysis product of leukotriene A4 (LTA4). Mouse liver cytosolic epoxide hydrolase catalyzes the conversion of LTA4 to 5(S),6(R)-DiHETE. 5(S),6(R)-DiHETE is a weak LTD4 receptor agonist in guinea pig lung membranes. It induces guinea pig ileum contraction with an ED50 value of 1.3 µM.5(S),6(R)-DiHETE MaxSpec® standard is a quantitative grade standard of 5(S),6(R)-DiHETE that has been prepared specifically for mass spectrometry or any application where quantitative reproducibility is required. The solution has been prepared gravimetrically and is supplied in a deactivated glass ampule sealed under argon. The concentration was verified by comparison to an independently prepared calibration standard. This 5(S),6(R)-DiHETE MaxSpec® standard is guaranteed to meet identity, purity, stability, and concentration specifications and is provided with a batch-specific certificate of analysis. Ongoing stability testing is performed to ensure the concentration remains accurate throughout the shelf life of the product. Note: The amount of solution added to the vial is in excess of the listed amount. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately measure volumes for preparation of calibration standards. Follow recommended storage and handling conditions to maintain product quality.
