Background

Palmitic acid (CAS 57-10-3) is a saturated long-chain fatty acid naturally isolated from palm tree fruits. It is involved biologically as a key constituent of cellular membranes and lipid signaling pathways, influencing protein palmitoylation—a reversible lipid modification regulating protein localization, trafficking, and activity. Palmitic acid also interacts metabolically with pathways involved in insulin signaling, inflammation, and lipid metabolism. Due to these functional roles, it is investigated extensively in biomedical research focusing on metabolic disorders, inflammatory responses, and cellular signaling mechanisms. Store under dry, cool, and sealed conditions.
