6,9,12-Hexadecatrienoic acid, (6Z,9Z,12Z)-

Description:
6,9,12-Hexadecatrienoic acid, also known as (6Z,9Z,12Z)-hexadecatrienoic acid, is a polyunsaturated fatty acid characterized by its long carbon chain and multiple double bonds. Specifically, it contains 16 carbon atoms and three cis double bonds located at the 6th, 9th, and 12th positions of the carbon chain. This configuration contributes to its fluidity and reactivity, making it an important component in various biological systems. The presence of multiple double bonds allows for greater flexibility in the molecular structure, which can influence its role in membrane fluidity and function. This fatty acid is typically found in certain plant oils and can be involved in metabolic processes. Its CAS number, 29428-96-4, is a unique identifier that facilitates the identification and study of this compound in scientific literature and databases. As a polyunsaturated fatty acid, it may also have implications in nutrition and health, particularly in relation to cardiovascular health and inflammation.
