The molecule is a cholesteryl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of all-cis-docosa-7,10,13,16-tetraenoic acid (adrenic acid) with the hydroxy group of cholesterol. It is a cholesteryl ester and a polyunsaturated fatty ester. It derives from an all-cis-docosa-7,10,13,16-tetraenoic acid.
