Palmitic acid (calcium)

Palmitic acid calcium is a long-chain saturated fatty acid commonly found in both animals and plants. PA can induce the expression of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) in in mouse granulosa cells. Palmitic acid calcium is used to establish a cell steatosis model[1][2].
