Eoxin D₄ (EXD₄), also known as 14,15-leukotriene D₄, is an eoxin. Cells make eoxins by metabolizing arachidonic acid with a 15-lipoxygenase enzyme to form 15(S)-hydroperoxyeicosapentaenoic acid (i.e. 15(S)-HpETE). This product is then converted serially to EXA₄, EXC₄, EXD₄, and EXE₄ by LTC₄ synthase, an unidentified gamma-glutamyltransferase, and an unidentified dipeptidase, respectively, in a pathway which appears similar if not identical to the pathway which forms leukotreines, i.e. LTA₄, LTC₄, LTD₄, and LTE₄. This pathway is schematically shown as follows:^[1]^[2]

Arachidonic acid + O₂ → 15(S)-HpETE → EXA₄ → EXC₄ → EXD₄ → EXE₄

EXA₄ is viewed as an intracellular-bound, short-lived intermediate which is rapidly metabolized to the downstream eoxins. The eoxins downstream of EXA₄ are secreted from their parent cells and, it is proposed but not yet proven, serve to regulate allergic responses and the development of certain cancers (see eoxins).^[1]^[3]
