18-Azido-stearic acid (Cat No.: I042592) is a long-chain azido fatty acid derivative based on stearic acid, featuring an azide group at the terminal 18th carbon. This compound is a valuable reagent in bioorthogonal chemistry, particularly suited for copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reactions. It is commonly used in membrane biology, lipidomics, and surface modification to enable selective tagging and tracking of lipids. Its hydrophobic structure facilitates integration into lipid bilayers, making it ideal for studying membrane dynamics and lipid-protein interactions in biological systems.
