Docosahexaenoic Acid methyl ester is a derivative of the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). It is found in fish oil and is an important component of cell membranes, particularly in the brain and retina. DHA methyl ester is involved in various biological processes, including signal transduction, membrane fluidity, and gene expression. It plays a role in the development and function of the nervous system. DHA methyl ester has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties.
