1) Cat. No.: TRC-E477805; 2) Chemical Name: Eicosapentaenoic Acid Ethyl Ester; 3) CAS No.: 86227-47-6; 4) Mol. Formula: C22H34O2; 5) Mol. Weight: 330.5; 6) Packing Size: 5mg / 50mg; 7) Appearence: Clear Colourless Oil; 8) Application Notes: Important polyunsaturated fatty acid of the marine food chain that serves as a precursor for the prostaglandin-3 and thromboxane-3 families. It differs from arachidonic acid (the eicosatetraenoic acid that is a precursor for the prostaglandin and thromboxane-2 families) by the extra double bond between the third and fourth carbons from the “methyl end” of the molecule.
