Formal name: hexadecanoic-1-13C acid
Synonyms: C16:0-13C|Hexadecanoic Acid-13C
Molecular weight: 257.4
CAS: 57677-53-9
Purity: ≥98%
Formulation: A solid
Palmitic acid-13C is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of palmitic acid (Item No. 10006627) by GC- or LC-MS. Palmitic acid is a common 16-carbon saturated fat that represents 10-20% of human dietary fat intake and comprises approximately 25 and 65% of human total plasma lipids and saturated fatty acids, respectively.{45765,1935} Acylation of palmitic acid to proteins facilitates anchoring of membrane-bound proteins to the lipid bilayer and trafficking of intracellular proteins, promotes protein-vesicle interactions, and regulates various G protein-coupled receptor functions.{45765} Red blood cell palmitic acid levels are increased in patients with metabolic syndrome compared to patients without metabolic syndrome and are also increased in the plasma of patients with type 2 diabetes compared to individuals without diabetes.{45771,45772}
