Palmitic-1,2-^13C2 acid, with the CAS number 86683-25-2, is a stable isotopic form of palmitic acid, a saturated fatty acid commonly found in both animal and plant fats. The presence of the ^13C isotopes at the 1 and 2 positions of the carbon chain allows for specific applications in metabolic studies and tracer experiments in biochemistry. Palmitic acid itself is a straight-chain fatty acid with a 16-carbon backbone, characterized by its solid state at room temperature and its role as a key component in various lipids, including triglycerides and phospholipids. It is known for its relatively high melting point compared to unsaturated fatty acids, and it is often used in the production of soaps, cosmetics, and food products. The isotopic labeling in palmitic-1,2-^13C2 acid enables researchers to trace metabolic pathways and study lipid metabolism in living organisms, providing insights into energy storage and utilization.
