15-Methylhexadecanoic acid Chemical Properties, Uses, Production
Description
15-methyl Palmitic acid is a methylated fatty acid that has been found in bacteria, bovine milk fat, one-humped camel (C. dromedarius) meat and fat, and in rabbit perirenal lipids. It is also found in human breast milk and levels are decreased in mature breast milk compared to colostrum. [Matreya, LLC. Catalog No. 1606]
Uses
15-Methylpalmitic acid is a biochemical reagent that can be used as a biological material or organic compound for life science related research.
Definition
ChEBI: A branched-chain saturated fatty acid comprising hexadecanoic (palmitic) acid substituted at position 15 by a methyl group.
