Myristic acid
Myristic acid is a 14-carbon saturated fatty acid that serves as a substrate for desaturases and mediates protein N-terminal myristoylation, influencing protein localization and signaling. It is used in research to study lipid metabolism, inflammatory pathways involving COX-2 and NF-κB, and protein lipidation in both cellular and biochemical assays.
