Palmitic acid-d2 contains two deuterium atoms at the 2 and 2’ positions. It is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of palmitic acid (Item No. 10006627) by GC- or LC-mass spectrometry. Saturated fatty acids are synthesized by both plants and animals from acetyl coenzyme A as a form of long-term energy storage. Palmitic acid is a common 16-carbon saturated fat that represents 10-20% of the normal human dietary fat intake. Palmitic acid also makes up approximately 25% of the total plasma fatty acids in plasma lipoproteins. Saturated free fatty acids induce the expression of cyclooxygenase-2, and after protein acylation, are used to confer lipid anchoring to a variety of signaling molecules.
