Virtually all cellular arachidonic acid is esterified in membrane phospholipids where its presence is tightly regulated through multiple interconnected pathways. Free arachidonic acid is a transient, critical substrate for the biosynthesis of eicosanoid second messengers. Receptor-stimulated release, metabolism, and re-uptake of free arachidonate are each important aspects of cell signalling, as well as inflammation. This compound was designed to allow arachidonic acid to be detected in complexes with protein binding partners such as fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs). It is thus a tool to be used in the general elucidation of the signaling and transport of free arachidonic acid.
