Tetradecenoic acid (cis-9)(CAT: R067818) is a monounsaturated fatty acid with a cis double bond located at the ninth carbon atom from the carboxyl end of the molecule. Its mode of action involves participating in various biological processes as a component of cell membranes and as a precursor in the synthesis of lipid molecules. Pharmacologically, tetradecenoic acid (cis-9) is not used as a therapeutic drug. Instead, it is a naturally occurring fatty acid found in various plant and animal sources. It plays essential roles in cellular metabolism, energy storage, and signal transduction, and its presence in dietary fats contributes to overall health and nutrition.
