The molecule is a docosanoid that is 17(R)-hydroxy-(4Z,7Z,10,12,14,19Z)-docosahexaenoic acid in which a glycinyl group is attached at position 16S via a sulfide linkage. An intermediate of specialised proresolving mediators It has a role as a human xenobiotic metabolite and a specialised pro-resolving mediator. It is a dicarboxylic acid, a docosanoid, an organic sulfide, a secondary alcohol and a S-substituted L-cysteine. It is a conjugate acid of a 16(S)-cystein-S-yl,17(R)-hydroxy-(4Z,7Z,10,12,14,19Z)-docosahexaenoate(1-).
(4Z,7Z,16S,17R,19Z)-16-[(2R)-2-amino-2-carboxyethyl]sulfanyl-17-hydroxydocosa-4,7,10,12,14,19-hexaenoic acid
