| General description: | Methyl tricosanoate, also recognized as Tricosanoic acid methyl ester, represents the fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) form of tricosanoic acid. This odd-numbered long-chain fatty acid methyl ester is atypical in many biological systems, making it valuable as a biomarker. Tricosanoic acid is naturally synthesized in certain plants and mammals, including humans, where it predominates as a skin lipid. It can be found acylated to various glyco-, phospho-, and sphingolipids, including gangliosides. This fatty acid holds significance in biochemical, lipidomics, and metabolomics research applications. |
