hexadecanoic acid การใช้
- "' Palmitic acid "', or "'hexadecanoic acid "'in IUPAC nomenclature, is the most common saturated fatty acid found in animals, plants and microorganisms.
- LPCs that contain the unsaturated fatty acids hexadecanoic acid or octadecanoic acid bound to their " sn-1 " act to permeablize, while LPC with the monounsaturated fatty acid, oleic acid at " sn-1 " act to perturb target cell surface membranes.
- In general, a lecithin, or more precisely a phosphatidylcholine is obtained using a saturated fatty acid, in the example here palmitic acid or hexadecanoic acid H 3 C-( CH 2 ) 14-COOH ( margaric acid identified by Gobley in egg yolk, now named heptadecano颿 acid H 3 C-( CH 2 ) 15-COOH, belongs to that class ) and an unsaturated fatty acid, here oleic acid or 9Z-octadecenoic acid as in Gobley's original egg yolk lecithin ).
