Melissic acid (CAS 506-50-3)
QUICK LINKS
Melissic acid was used in a study on identification and determination of very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid. Melissic acid, a long-chain saturated fatty acid, is prevalent in various plant and animal sources. Its significance lies in its involvement in biological processes, including maintaining cell membrane structure and function, serving as energy storage, and participating in signal transduction. This versatile acid is not only an essential constituent of industrial products like soaps, lubricants, and surfactants but also an object of extensive scientific research. Researchers have utilized it to explore fatty acids′ impact on cell membrane structure and function, and its role in regulating gene expression. Additionally, investigations into melissic acid have revealed insights into energy metabolism and signal transduction regulation facilitated by fatty acids.
