Methyl 12-methyltetradecanoate, referred to as methyl myristate, is an inherent fatty acid ester discovered in diverse plant and animal sources. Within its complex nature, methyl 12-methyltetradecanoate is conjectured to function as an agonist for the PPAR-gamma receptor—a pivotal player in the intricate orchestration of fatty acid metabolism. Additionally, it is believed to exhibit inhibitory properties against acetyl-CoA carboxylase, an enzyme for the synthesis of fatty acids. These unique characteristics of methyl 12-methyltetradecanoate position it as a remarkable compound with potential implications in the regulation of fatty acid metabolism and the intricate mechanisms underlying fatty acid synthesis.
