Docosatetraenoic acid designates any straight chain 22:4 fatty acid. (See Essential fatty acid for nomenclature.)
One isomer is of particular interest:
- all-cis-7,10,13,16-docosatetraenoic acid is an soluble epoxide hydrolase(sEH) to dihydroxydocosatrienoic acids (DHDTs) and hence might play a role in the efficacy of sEH inhibitors.
