    Product Description

    3-hydroxy Lignoceric acid is a hydroxylated form of the 24-carbon saturated lignoceric acid (Item No. 13353). 3-hydroxy Lignoceric acid is found in minor amounts in Methyloligella, a novel Gram-negative bacteria.1 3-hydroxy Lignoceric acid, in the form of an acyl-CoA metabolite, is an intermediate in fatty acid chain elongation from docosanoic acid (C22:0; Item No. 9000338) to lignoceric acid (C24:0). 2
