Eicosapentaenoic Acid (Standard) is the analytical standard of Eicosapentaenoic Acid. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) is an orally active Omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (omega-3 LC-PUFA). Eicosapentaenoic Acid exhibits a DNA demethylating action that promotes the re-expression of the tumor suppressor gene CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein delta (C/EBPdelta). Eicosapentaenoic Acid activates RAS/ERK/C/EBPbeta pathway through H-Ras intron 1 CpG island demethylation in U937 leukemia cells. Eicosapentaenoic Acid can promote relaxation of vascular smooth muscle cells and vasodilation [1] [2] [3] .
