Ontological Term Details

Metabolite
HMDB0001198 (Leukotriene C4)
Term
Arachidonic acid metabolism
Definition
in resting cells arachidonic acid is present in the phospholipids (especially phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine) of membranes of the body’s cells, and is particularly abundant in the brain. typically a receptor-dependent event, requiring a transducing g protein, initiates phospholipid hydrolysis and releases the fatty acid into the intracellular medium.
Parent Term
