The chemical reactions and pathways involving arachidonic acid, a straight chain fatty acid with 20 carbon atoms and four double bonds per molecule. Arachidonic acid is the all-Z-(5,8,11,14)-isomer. The chemical reactions and pathways involving fatty acids with a chain length of C18 or greater. The chemical reactions and pathways involving monocarboxylic acids, any organic acid containing one carboxyl (COOH) group or anion (COO-). The chemical reactions and pathways by which an unsaturated fatty acid (such as arachidonic acid or linolenic acid) is converted to other compounds, and in which the first step is hydroperoxide formation catalyzed by lipoxygenase. The chemical reactions and pathways involving fatty acids, aliphatic monocarboxylic acids liberated from naturally occurring fats and oils by hydrolysis. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of fatty acids with a chain length of C18 or greater. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of fatty acids with a chain length of C18 or greater. The chemical reactions and pathways involving lipids, as carried out by individual cells.
