NCIt definition : A class of eicosanoids produced by the epoxidation of one of the double bonds of arachidonic
acid by some of the members of the cytochrome P450 family of epoxygenases. Epoxides
in the epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) family act locally to stimulate signaling pathways
involved in the regulation of blood pressure, vascular maintenance, inflammation,
and pain responses. EETs may promote the proliferation and survival of certain types
of cancer cells.;
