Eicosapentaenoic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFAs) and is synthesized from linolenic acid. It is distributed in phospholipid bilayers of the cell membrane, synaptic membranes of the brain and retina. It is obtained majorly from fish oil, seaweed, phytoplankton, and camelina. Being an Omega-3 fatty acid, it shows cis-trans conformations.
