Lignoceric Acid

Lignoceric acid is a 24-carbon saturated (24:0) fatty acid. In mammals, it is synthesized during brain development and is found in cerebrosides. The deficient peroxisomal oxidation of very-long-chain fatty acids, including lignoceric acid, contributes to certain syndromes, including Zellweger cerebro-hepato-renal syndrome and X chromosome-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. Lignoceric acid is also a by-product of lignin production.Formal Name: tetracosanoic acid. CAS Number: 557-59-5. Synonyms: C24:0, FA 24:0. Molecular Formula: C24H48O2. Formula Weight: 368.6.
