Difference between 20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid and Prostaglandin G2

20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid vs. Prostaglandin G2

20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, also known as 20-HETE or 20-hydroxy-5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoic acid, is an eicosanoid metabolite of arachidonic acid that has a wide range of effects on the vascular system including the regulation of vascular tone, blood flow to specific organs, sodium and fluid transport in the kidney, and vascular pathway remodeling. Prostaglandin G2 is an organic peroxide belonging to the family of prostaglandins.
