Answer Posted / abhilash
Eicosanoids are biological signalling molecules.
they act as short range messengers affecting tissues near
the cells that produce them.
all 3 sub classes of eicosanoids are
prostaglandins,thromboxanes,leukotrienes,which are unstable
and insoluble in water.
these act primarily on cells very near their point of
release.
phospholipase present in mammalian cells attack the
membrane phospholipids and releases arachidonate.
arachidonate is is conerted into PGH2 precursor of
prostaglandins and thromboxanes.
