Function E. METABOLISM OF EICOSANOIDS  No clear biologic activity 1. Arachidonic acid Phospholipids  Can be converted to leukotrienes  Precursor to the major prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes nd  Stored as ester of 2 position of the glycerol backbone of cell membrane phospholipid  Released in the presence of phospholipase A2 2. Arachidonic acid Release  Amount of free arachidonic acid released determines the rate of product formation  Cell stimulation by agonist – specific target  Thrombin – platelets and endothelial cells  Bradykinin – renal tubular cell  Hydrolysis of Arachidonate  By phospholipase A2  Phosphatidylinositol  By phospholipase C  Cleaves inositol from phosphatidylinositol  α,β- diacylglycerol rich in arachidonate D.
