Source	Present in fish oils as an acylglycerol and animal phospholipids. Cattle-liver lipids; various fish and seal oils.
Chemical Synthesis
Metabolism	Metabolic product of a-linolenic acid (9,12,15-18:3). The synthesis of 5,8,11,14,17-20:5 (=EPA) occurs via the following reaction sequence in the endoplasmic reticulum Sprecher_H et al.: 9,12,15-18:3 --> 6,9,12,15-18:4 --> 8,11,14,17-20:4 --> 5,8,11,14,17-20:5 --> 7,10,13,16,19-22:5. EPA is further metabolized to DHA. Precursor of PG3 series of prostaglandins.
