5(S),6(R)-DiHETE is an enzymatic metabolite of leukotriene A4 that functions as a CysLT1 Receptor (LTD4 (sc-201048) receptor) agonist. Studies show that the activation of the CysLT1 Receptor results in the contraction of lung parenchyma cells. In addition, it is the vicinal diol's specific structure that is essential for binding to the CysLT1 Receptor since other stereoisomers of the agonist do not bind to the receptor. These contractions in lung parenchyma cells are readily inhibited by FPL 55712 (sc-203583).
