20-HETE is a cytochrome P450 (CYP450) metabolite postulated to play an autacoid role in the cerebral and renal vasculature. In rat cerebral microvessels, this compound is a vasoconstrictor that mediates pressure-induced autoregulatory vasoconstriction. It is excreted mainly as the glucuronide conjugate where the concentration of free 20-HETE (20-40 pg/ml in human urine) is about 10-fold lower than the corresponding concentration of the 20-glucuronide. 20-HETE can be further metabolized by cyclooxygenase to 20-hydroxy PGG2 and 20-hydroxy PGH2.
Soluble in ethanol, DMSO, DMF, PBS (pH 7.2) (≥ 0.8 mg/ml), and 0.1 M Na2CO3 (2 mg/ml).
