Nervonic Acid

Description:

Nervonic acid, also known as 24:1 n-9 fatty acid, is a monounsaturated fatty acid characterized by its long carbon chain, specifically containing 24 carbon atoms and one double bond located at the ninth carbon from the methyl end. Its chemical formula is C24H46O2, and it is classified as a very long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA). Nervonic acid is primarily found in the brain and nervous tissue, playing a crucial role in the formation of myelin, which is essential for proper nerve function. It is also present in certain plant oils and animal fats. The substance is known for its potential health benefits, including its role in neuroprotection and cognitive function. Nervonic acid can be synthesized in the body from other fatty acids, but it can also be obtained through dietary sources. Its unique structure contributes to its physical properties, such as a relatively high melting point compared to shorter-chain fatty acids, and it is typically found in a liquid state at room temperature.

Applications Nervonic acid is a fatty acid. It is particularly abundant in the white matter of animal brains and in peripheral nervous tissue where nervonyl sphingolipids are enriched in the myelin sheath of nerve fibers. It is one of the major fatty acids in brain sphingolipids, normally accounting for approximately 40% of the total fatty acids in sphingolipids.

Nervonic acid

CAS: 506-37-6

Nervonic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid, which is predominantly sourced from natural materials such as plant oils and animal tissues. It serves a critical role in the biosynthesis of nerve cell membranes and is particularly abundant in the white matter of the human brain. Its presence is essential for the formation and maintenance of myelin, the protective covering around nerves, due to its incorporation into sphingolipids, which are integral components of myelin.
