Cholesteryl nervonate (CAS 60758-73-8)
QUICK LINKS
Cholesteryl nervonate is a cholesteryl ester that combines cholesterol with nervonic acid, a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid. This compound is of particular interest in lipid research, where it is used to study the biophysical properties of cell membranes and lipoproteins. Due to its unique fatty acid composition, cholesteryl nervonate is employed in the investigation of membrane fluidity and its impact on cellular functions such as signaling, transport, and metabolism. It serves as a model compound to understand the role of specific lipid species in the structure and function of the central nervous system′s myelin sheath. Additionally, cholesteryl nervonate is used in the study of sphingolipidoses, a group of disorders characterized by the accumulation of certain lipids, to unravel the metabolic pathways and consequences of lipid storage diseases. As a component of synthetic lipid assemblies, this compound aids in the examination of lipid-lipid and lipid-protein interactions, which are critical to membrane dynamics and function.
