Eicosanoid oxidoreductase

Butyric acid is a sex phermone of vertebrates, including humans (E 4). Lipoic acid is a cosubstrate of certain oxidoreductases and involved in the transfer of acyl groups (E 2.1, C 2.7). Linolenic acid is a vitamin for human beings (vitamin F, E 2.1). It is transformed by chain elongation (D 3.2.1) to bishomo-y-linolenic acid (eicosatrienoic acid), and subsequently to arachidonic acid (eicosatetraenoic acid), and eicosapentaenoic acid from which the eicosanoids (D 3.2.6) are derived. These substances possess hormone activity in animals and human beings. [Pg.151]
