Lipidomics update - April, 2018
The lipidomics update provides an overview of developments in lipid research. Each month we offer a fresh collection of research, news and events for the specialist and the interested non-specialist alike.
LIPID MAPS® highlights
Lipidomics Services - LIPID MAPS methodology and protocols are freely available in our Lipidomics methods and protocols sections. MS standards are available from Avanti Polar Lipids, Inc.
Lipidomics analyses using these protocols and standards are available from the LIPID MAPS Lipidomics Core at UC San Diego and from Avanti on a fee for service basis.
Lipid of the month
15R-hydroxy-12S,14R-dioxolane-EET (15R-hydroxy-12S,14R-dioxolane-5Z,8Z,10E-eicosatrienoic acid) is an eicosanoid containing a 1,2-dioxolane (cyclic peroxide) group. Dioxolanes of this type have been generated from enantiomers of 14,15-EET by two mammalian LOX enzymes, 15-LOX-1 and platelet-type 12-LOX. This type of transformation could occur naturally with the co-occurrence of LOX and cytochrome P450 or peroxygenase enzymes.
