Description

Myristic acid-d₂ is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of myristic acid by GC- or LC-MS. Myristic acid is a 14-carbon saturated fatty acid. It is incorporated into myristoyl coenzyme A (myristoyl-CoA) and transferred by N-myristoyltransferase to the N-terminal glycine of certain proteins either during translation to modify protein activity or post-translationally in apoptotic cells.

Uses

Tetradecanoic-2,2-d2 Acid (CAS# 30719-21-2) is a useful isotopically labeled research compound.
