2-Chlorohexadecanoic acid（Cat No.:I044110）is a synthetic halogenated fatty acid derivative, structurally based on palmitic acid (hexadecanoic acid) with a chlorine atom at the 2-position. This modification imparts increased chemical reactivity and potential bioactivity, making it a useful compound in lipid metabolism studies, enzyme inhibition, and membrane interaction research. It may mimic or disrupt natural fatty acid processing, aiding in the investigation of lipid signaling pathways, β-oxidation, and protein acylation mechanisms. 2-Chlorohexadecanoic acid also serves as a tool in toxicology and drug metabolism research, particularly involving chlorinated lipid analogs.
