Hexadecanoic acid-1-13C,(Palmitic-1-13C acid),99 atom % 13C

Description:

Hexadecanoic acid-1-13C, also known as palmitic-1-13C acid, is a stable isotope-labeled fatty acid characterized by the presence of a carbon-13 isotope at the first carbon position of its long-chain structure. With the molecular formula C16H32O2, it features a straight-chain saturated fatty acid with a carboxylic acid functional group. The presence of the 13C isotope, which constitutes 99 atom percent of the carbon in this compound, makes it particularly useful in various analytical applications, including metabolic studies and tracer experiments in biochemistry. Hexadecanoic acid is typically solid at room temperature and has a melting point that is characteristic of saturated fatty acids. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. This compound plays a significant role in biological systems, serving as a key component of lipids and membranes, and is involved in energy storage and metabolic processes. Its isotopic labeling allows for enhanced tracking and quantification in research settings, providing insights into metabolic pathways and lipid metabolism.

Palmitic Acid (1-13C, 99%)

CAS: 57677-53-9

Applications Hexadecanoic-1-13C Acid is a labeled analog of Palmitic Acid (P144500), which is a common fatty acid found in plants and animals. The body converts excess carbohydrates into Palmitic Acid, thus Palmitic Acid is the first fatty acid produced during fatty acid synthesis as well as a precursor for longer fatty acids.
