CAS 287100-87-2: palmitic-2-13C acid

Description:Palmitic-2-^13C acid, with the CAS number 287100-87-2, is a stable isotope-labeled form of palmitic acid, a saturated fatty acid commonly found in animals and plants. The "2-^13C" designation indicates that one of the carbon atoms in the fatty acid chain is a carbon-13 isotope, which is a non-radioactive isotope of carbon. This modification allows for the tracing and study of metabolic pathways in biological systems using techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Palmitic acid itself has a long hydrocarbon chain consisting of 16 carbon atoms and is known for its role in energy storage and cellular structure. It is typically solid at room temperature and has a waxy texture. The presence of the ^13C isotope does not significantly alter the physical properties of the acid, but it provides valuable insights in research applications, particularly in metabolic studies and lipid biochemistry.
