Application

Palmitic acid (15-yne) has been used as a component of fatty acid probe stock solution for the optimization of Alk-C16 incorporation onto cellular proteins. It is also suitable for metabolic labeling.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Alkynyl palmitic acid (aPA) is a modified palmitic acid with an ω-terminal alkyne. The terminal alkyne group can be used in a highly specific linking reaction with azide-containing reagents, known as ‘click chemistry′. The click chemistry reactions are rapid, convenient, versatile and regiospecific. They are easy to purify. aPA can be used for isolating palmitoylated proteins.
