9(R)-PAHSA

9(R)-PAHSA is a stereoisomer of 9-PAHSA (Item No. 17037), an endogenous lipid that belongs to a collection of branched fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs).¹ 9-PAHSA is a FAHFA in which palmitic acid (Item No. 10006627) is esterified to 9-hydroxy stearic acid. 9(R)-PAHSA is the predominant form that accumulates in adipose tissues in AG4OX mice, which overexpress Glut4 specifically in adipose tissue.² Also, cell lines favor the production of 9(R)-PAHSA, and carboxyl ester lipase selectively hydrolyzes 9(S)-PAHSA (Item No. 18023).
