2-HEXADECENOIC ACID Usage And Synthesis

Uses

2-Hexadecenoic acid is a natural unsaturated fatty acid. It is ubiquitously present in various animal and plant tissues, especially adipose tissue and certain vegetable oils, such as macadamia nut oil. 2-Hexadecenoic acid has unique chemical properties that make it an important component of cell membranes and storage lipids, and participates in various metabolic processes such as lipid metabolism and inflammation. It's also been linked to potential health benefits, including improved insulin sensitivity and a lower risk of heart disease.

Definition

ChEBI: (E)-hexadec-2-enoic acid is a hexadecenoic acid having a trans-double bond at the 2-position. It has a role as a metabolite. It is a hexadecenoic acid and an alpha,beta-unsaturated monocarboxylic acid. It is a conjugate acid of an (E)-hexadec-2-enoate.
