Solubility	soluble in benzene, chloroform, methyl alcohol, ether and petroleum ether. KlenkEet al. KlenkEet al. Whitcutt_JM
Source	South African pilchard oil; brain phosphatides; liver lipids of cattle. It is found mainly in fish and marine microorganisms and plants. DHA is also an essential component of the brain, eyes, and other nervous system tissues. Tuna eyeballs are one of the major source .
Chemical Synthesis
Metabolism	Metabolic product of a-linolenic acid (9,12,25-18:3). The synthesis of 4,7,10,13,16,19-22:6 (=DHA) occurs via the following reaction sequence 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 --> 9,12,15,18,21-24:5 --> 6,9,12,15,18,21-24:6 --> 4,7,10,13,16,19-22:6. According to these pathways the 24-carbon acids that are made in the endoplasmic reticulum move to a site for partial beta-oxidation, which is most likely peroxisomes.
