Eicosanoids

Santa Cruz Biotechnology now offers a broad range of eicosanoids for use in various applications. Eicosanoids, a group of bioactive lipids derived from arachidonic acid and other polyunsaturated fatty acids, play critical roles in numerous physiological processes and are extensively studied in various scientific disciplines. These molecules, including prostaglandins, thromboxanes, leukotrienes, and lipoxins, are key mediators in inflammatory and immune responses, making them essential for research in immunology and cell biology. Scientists investigate eicosanoids to understand their involvement in signaling pathways that regulate inflammation, cell proliferation, and tissue homeostasis. In environmental science, eicosanoids are used to study the effects of pollutants on biological systems, as they can serve as biomarkers for exposure to environmental stressors. Analytical chemists employ advanced techniques such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to quantify eicosanoids in biological samples, providing insights into their roles and dynamics within various biological contexts. Eicosanoids are also important in the study of metabolic pathways, where researchers explore their biosynthesis and catabolism to study their regulatory functions. By offering a diverse selection of eicosanoids, Santa Cruz Biotechnology supports a wide range of scientific endeavors, enabling researchers to select the appropriate eicosanoid for their specific experimental needs. This extensive range of eicosanoids facilitates innovation and discovery across multiple scientific disciplines, including cell biology, immunology, environmental science, and analytical chemistry.
