Methyl hexacosanoate (CAS 5802-82-4)
QUICK LINKS
Methyl hexacosanoate has been integral to extensive scientific investigation due to its multifaceted application. Notably, it has served as a model compound for comprehending the structure and functionality of biological membranes. Researchers have employed it to explore the impact of fatty acid composition on the properties of liposomes. Being a medium-chain fatty acid, methyl hexacosanoate possesses a carbon atom chain which enables it to interact with the phospholipids present in biological membranes. By inserting itself into the phospholipid bilayer, methyl hexacosanoate establishes a hydrophobic layer that enhances membrane stability. Additionally, it can engage with membrane proteins and modulate their activity, further influencing membrane functionality.
