Leukotriene B4 is a bioactive lipid mediator that acts as a potent chemoattractant and activator of leukocytes. It is used in research to investigate inflammation, leukocyte chemotaxis, receptor signaling, and related pharmacological responses, and can be employed as a synthetic intermediate in chemical biology applications.
- Potent chemoattractant for leukocyte activation and migration.
- Used in in vitro assays of inflammation and receptor signaling.
- Suitable for pharmacology and signaling studies involving BLT receptors.
- Research-grade reagent with reported purity ≥97%.
- Well-defined chemical identifiers for reproducible research (CAS 71160-24-2, C20H32O4, MW 336.5 g/mol).
