Thromboxane A synthase-independent production of 12-hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid, a BLT2 ligand[S]

12(S)-hydroxyheptadeca-5Z,8E,10E-trienoic acid (12-HHT) has long been considered a by-product of thromboxane A2 (TxA2) biosynthesis with no biological activity. Recently, we reported 12-HHT to be an endogenous ligand for BLT2, a low-affinity leukotriene B4 receptor. To delineate the biosynthetic pat...
