Hexadecanedioic acid
Catalog No. A53737

Hexadecanedioic acid, also known as Thapsic acid, is an endogenous metabolite that plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism. It inhibits IRE1α-mediated XBP1 splicing, thereby affecting flipogenesis and ferroptosis. Additionally, Hexadecanedioic acid downregulates the expression of XBP1 and Hrd1 while activating the Nrf2/SLC7A11/GPX4 pathway. This compound is valuable for research into metabolic-associated fatty liver disease and related metabolic disorders.
