20-carboxy Arachidonic Acid, listed under CAS number 79551-84-1, is a derivative of arachidonic acid, where an additional carboxyl group has been introduced at the omega end of the molecule. This modification significantly alters the chemical and biological properties of the original fatty acid. In research, 20-carboxy Arachidonic Acid is particularly valuable for studying lipid oxidation processes and the role of oxidized fatty acids in cellular signaling pathways. The presence of the extra carboxyl group enhances the molecule′s polarity and potentially increases its reactivity, making it a subject of interest in studies related to the interaction of fatty acids with cellular receptors and enzymes. Researchers employ this compound to explore how the structural changes in fatty acids affect their function within cell membranes, particularly how such modifications influence the interaction with proteins involved in inflammatory signaling pathways. By understanding these interactions, researchers can gain insights into the fundamental mechanisms of cell signaling and regulation, which are crucial for broad biological processes.
