Product Data Sheet
8(Z)-Eicosenoic acid
Catalog No. A74536
8(Z)-Eicosenoic acid is a cis-unsaturated free fatty acid that serves as an endogenous metabolite. This 20-carbon chain fatty acid potentiates acetylcholine receptor channel currents without causing depression and enhances the phosphorylation of protein kinase C epsilon (PKCε) substrates in Xenopus oocytes. It represents approximately 6% of the fatty acid composition in seed oil derived from Bursera collina, making it significant for studies in fatty acid metabolism and receptor pharmacology.
