3-Hydroxy-hexadecanoic Acid acid is a fatty acid that is found in the mitochondria of the cell and is one of the most abundant fatty acids in human plasma. The terminal carboxylic acid can react with primary amine groups in the presence of activators (e.g. HATU) to form a stable amide bond. The hydroxyl group enables further derivatization or replacement with other reactive functional groups. Reagent grade, for research purpose.
