Description:(+/-)-13-Hydroxy-9Z,11E-octadecadienoic acid, cholesteryl ester, is a complex lipid compound characterized by its structure, which includes a long-chain fatty acid with two double bonds and a hydroxyl group, esterified to cholesterol. This compound is part of the class of bioactive lipids and is known for its potential roles in various biological processes, including inflammation and cell signaling. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its amphipathic nature, allowing it to interact with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments. The specific configuration of the double bonds (9Z,11E) indicates the geometric arrangement of the unsaturated fatty acid, which can influence its biological activity and interactions with cellular membranes. As a cholesteryl ester, it is involved in lipid metabolism and storage, and may play a role in the transport of cholesterol within the body. Its CAS number, 167354-91-8, is a unique identifier that facilitates the tracking and study of this compound in scientific literature and databases.
