Docosanoic acid is a long-chain saturated fatty acid that exists naturally as a triglyceride in canola, peanut, and marine animal oils as well as animal milk fats and peanut skins. Commercially, docosanoic acid is regularly used to give hair conditioners and moisturizers their smoothing properties. Docosanoic acid, a fatty acid, has been employed in in vitro studies to explore the impacts of fatty acids on biological systems. Researchers have utilized docosanoic acid to investigate its effects on cancer cell growth. Furthermore, docosanoic acid has been employed to examine the effects of fatty acids on the activity of enzymes involved in lipid metabolism.
