Lipids

Stability Light Sensitive, Temperature Sensitive
Applications 3,4-Dimethyl-5-pentyl-2-furanundecanoic acid is also known as F6 furan fatty acid. Furan fatty acids are generated in large amounts in algae and fish, but they are also produced by plants and microorganisms. Furan fatty acids are known to exhibit radical-scavenging ability and anti-inflammatory properties.

Applications Zymosterol is an sterol intermediate in the biosynthesis of cholesterol (C432501). Cholesterol is a major component of all biological membranes; ~25% of total brain lipid is Cholesterol. Zymosterol was also found to be located in the plasma membrane of cultured human fibroblasts via labeling studies.
