Arachidic acid is a saturated fatty acid that functions as a precursor for the biosynthesis of other lipids. It plays a role in maintaining the structural integrity of cell membranes and is involved in cell signaling processes. At the molecular level, arachidic acid interacts with various enzymes and proteins involved in lipid metabolism, influencing the composition and fluidity of cellular membranes. Its mechanism of action includes serving as a substrate for the synthesis of complex lipids, such as phospholipids and glycolipids. Arachidic acid can modulate the activity of certain transcription factors and signaling pathways, impacting gene expression and cellular responses.
