Beschreibung

Heptadecanoic acid is a fatty acid that is a major component of the human sebum. It has been shown to be an oxidation catalyst for polyunsaturated fatty acids and can be used in the production of caproic acid and alkanoic acid from their corresponding glycol esters. It has also been shown to have enzyme activities, such as oxidizing phospholipids and hydrolyzing triglycerides. Heptadecanoic acid is a normal constituent of human serum, but its concentration varies among individuals. It can be used as a control analysis to determine if another fatty acid is present in the sample, or it can be used as a biological sample to study energy metabolism or epidermal growth factor.
