Lignoceric acid (Standard)

• Description:

  Lignoceric acid (Standard) is the analytical standard of Lignoceric acid. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Lignoceric acid (Tetracosanoic acid) is a 24-carbon saturated (24:0) fatty acid, which is synthesized in the developing brain. Lignoceric acid is also a by-product of lignin production. Lignoceric acid can be used for Zellweger cerebro‐hepato‐renal syndrome and adrenoleukodystrophy research[1][2].
