2-Bromopalmitic acid
2-Bromohexadecanoic acid (2-BP) is a synthetic palmitate analog that functions as a PPARδ agonist and a potent inhibitor of protein palmitoylation by targeting DHHC palmitoyltransferases. This non-metabolizable compound is widely used in vitro and in vivo to study lipid metabolism, signal transduction, and the role of palmitoylation in diseases.
