QUICK LINKS

Myristelaidic acid (MA) is a long-chain fatty acid that can be found in the cell membranes of various organisms. This acid is known to exert its effects through several mechanisms, encompassing the inhibition of inflammation, oxidative stress, and cell proliferation. Moreover, studies have demonstrated that myristelaidic acid can influence the activity of specific enzymes like lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase. The trans configuration of the double bond tends to straighten the molecule, leading to a higher melting point compared to cis fatty acids with similar carbon chain lengths. This property affects its behavior in biological systems. Its role in modulating membrane fluidity and function can also be a focus of study.
