Palmitic acid-<wbr></wbr>d<sub>31</sub> contains 31 deuterium atoms at the 2, 2/’, 3, 3/’, 4, 4/’, 5, 5/’, 6, 6/’, 7, 7/’, 8, 8/’, 9, 9/’, 10, 10/’, 11, 11/’, 12, 12/’, 13, 13/’, 14, 14/’, 15, 15/’, 16, 16, and 16 positions. It is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of palmitic acid (Item No. <span class=/itemid/>10006627</span>) 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-<wbr></wbr>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.
