    Product Description

    Myristelaidic acid is a 14-carbon monounsaturated ω-5 long-chain fatty acid. It is the trans isomer of myristoleic acid (Item No. 9002461). Myristelaidic acid is converted to myristelaidoyl CoA at a faster rate than myristoleic acid to myristoleoyl CoA.1

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
