Arachidonic Acid is an unsaturated fatty acid,
CH3(CH2)3(CH2CH:CH)4(CH2)3COOH, that is essential for growth in
mammals. It can be synthesized from linoleic acid.
Arachidonic acid acts as a precursor to several biologically active
compounds, including prostaglandins, and plays an important role in
membrane production and fat metabolism. The release of arachidonic
acid from membrane phospholipids is triggered by certain
hormones.
