Product Overview
Description:
Lignoceric acid is a twenty-four-carbon saturated, very-long-chain fatty acid essential for structural membrane synthesis and complex lipid assembly. Synthesized endogenously during cerebral development and concentrated heavily within the cerebroside fractions of neural sphingolipids, this lipid chain serves as a crucial parameter for monitoring peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway efficiency and metabolic lipid disorders.
Synonyms:
Tetracosanoic acid; C24:0; FA 24:0; N-tetracosanoic acid
