Difference between Cyclooxygenase and Linoleic acid

Cyclooxygenase vs. Linoleic acid

Cyclooxygenase (COX), officially known as prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PTGS), is an enzyme (specifically, a family of isozymes) that is responsible for formation of prostanoids, including thromboxane and prostaglandins such as prostacyclin, from arachidonic acid. Linoleic acid (LA), a carboxylic acid, is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid, an 18-carbon chain with two double bonds in cis configuration.

Similarities between Cyclooxygenase and Linoleic acid

Cyclooxygenase and Linoleic acid have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Arachidonic acid, Prostaglandin, Thromboxane.

Arachidonic acid

Arachidonic acid (AA, sometimes ARA) is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid 20:4(ω-6).
