3-HYDROXYHEXADECANOIC ACID Usage And Synthesis

Uses

3-Hydroxy-hexadecanoic Acid is a long-chain fatty acid that behaves as an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation in heart mitochondria.

Definition

ChEBI: A long-chain fatty acid that is the 3-hydroxy derivative of palmitic acid.

Biochem/physiol Actions

DL-β-Hydroxypalmitic acid is a mixture of D- and L-β-hydroxypalmitic (3-hydroxyhexadecanoic) acids. 3-hydroxyhexadecanoic [C16:0(3-OH)] may be used in studies that involve the lipid structures of endotoxin lipid A molecules.
