Product Overview
Description:
16-methyl Stearic acid is a unique, saturated branched-chain fatty acid featuring a single methyl substitution at the C-16 locus of its octadecanoic core, naturally identified via advanced lipidomics as a signature chemotaxonomic membrane lipid constituent residing across diverse marine sponge species belonging to the taxonomic class Calcarea.
