Trierucin (CAS 2752-99-0)
QUICK LINKS
Trierucin is a triglyceride that consists of three erucic acid molecules esterified to a glycerol backbone. It is used in studies exploring lipid metabolism and enzymatic activity related to lipases, the enzymes responsible for breaking down triglycerides. By incorporating trierucin into metabolic assays, researchers can investigate the specificity and efficiency of lipases toward different fatty acid substrates, particularly long-chain fatty acids. Additionally, trierucin is employed in research on biofuel production, where it serves as a model compound for studying the transesterification process, which converts triglycerides into biodiesel. The compound is also of interest in nutritional studies that seek to understand the effects of various fatty acids on metabolism and health.
