Biological Activity
Branched fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs) are recently discovered lipids that play a role in the body's response to fasting and high-fat diets, with a link to insulin sensitivity. These compounds consist of a long-chain fatty acid (such as palmitoleic, palmitic, oleic, or stearic acid) bonded to a hydroxy fatty acid, both ranging in length from C-16 to C-18. Specifically, 12-OAHSA is a type of FAHFA where oleic acid is attached to the 12th carbon of hydroxy stearic acid. Within the FAHFA family, OAHSAs are particularly notable for their high concentration in the serum of AG4OX mice, a strain engineered to express the Glut4 glucose transporter predominantly in their adipose tissue, which demonstrates an enhanced glucose tolerance.
Safety & Regulatory
For Research Use Only (RUO). Not for therapeutic, diagnostic, or clinical use. Wear appropriate PPE and consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prior to handling.
Yes — TargetMol inhibitors can be used in cell-based and in vitro experiments. Prepare a DMSO stock, then dilute into cell culture medium to the desired working concentration, keeping DMSO ≤ 0.1% (v/v) to avoid solvent toxicity. Note that not all compounds have published data for every cell line or assay system; in such cases, perform a dose-response experiment with appropriate positive and vehicle controls to validate efficacy in your specific model.
Solid-form products can be stored at -20°C for more than 3 years. Stock solutions are typically stored at -80°C and can be stored for more than 1 year. It is recommended to aliquot the product to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. For short-term storage, samples can be kept at 4°C for more than one week.
