Azido Myristic Acid (Cat No.: I042569) is a synthetic analog of myristic acid containing an azide functional group, enabling bioorthogonal labeling via click chemistry. It mimics natural myristoylation substrates, allowing researchers to study protein lipidation, membrane targeting, and intracellular trafficking. Widely used in proteomics and cell biology, Azido Myristic Acid facilitates the identification and visualization of myristoylated proteins in live cells without altering their native functions. It is a powerful tool for investigating lipid-mediated signaling pathways and protein-membrane interactions.
