Mono- (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (Standard)

Mono- (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (Standard) is the analytical standard of Mono- (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Mono- (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) is a major bioactive metabolite of diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) . Mono- (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate can promote fatty acid synthesis in hepatocytes by regulating the expression of relevant genes and proteins, contributing to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) [1].
