Beschreibung

2-Hydroxy-3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadecanoic acid (2HMT) is a fatty acid that is formed by the oxidation of myristic and phytanic acids. 2HMT has been shown to be localized in human liver cells and to participate in peroxisomal β-oxidation. This fatty acid has been shown to be converted into other metabolites such as branched chain fatty acids. 2HMT can also be converted into α-hydroxylated metabolites or oxidized to form aldehydes.
