Biological Activity
13-SAHSA, a branched fatty acid ester of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs), has been found to be involved in metabolic regulation, particularly in relation to fasting, high-fat feeding, and insulin sensitivity. This compound is a synthesis of stearic acid and 13-hydroxy stearic acid. Notably, 13-SAHSA levels are found to be moderately increased in the serum of AG4OX mice, which are characterized by their glucose tolerance and expression of the Glut4 glucose transporter specifically in their adipose tissue. Similar to other FAHFAs, 13-SAHSA is believed to play a significant role in enhancing glucose tolerance, stimulating insulin secretion, and exerting anti-inflammatory effects, indicating its potential importance in addressing conditions related to metabolic syndrome and inflammation.
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.
Melted ice packs are generally not a concern for solid powder compounds, as the short transit period at ambient temperature does not typically affect compound integrity or potency. Powder form is inherently more stable than solution form during temperature fluctuations. Upon receipt, transfer the compound to −20 °C immediately. If you observe color change, odor, or physical changes, contact BioHippo for quality investigation.
Insoluble impurities, which do not affect the product activity, are recommended to filter out or remove. We will investigate to confirm whether the impurity was introduced during packaging or if it is inherent to the product itself.
Need this compound in a format that drops straight into your assay? We can tailor formulation, chemistry, and documentation so your results stay consistent across runs and re-orders.
- Format options: solid or pre-dissolved solution (choose solvent), target concentration, aliquots, light/moisture-protected packaging
- Chemistry options: free base/acid vs salt forms, hydrate/solvate preference, stereoisomer control (single enantiomer or racemate), close analogs
- Add-on labels & handles: D/¹³C/¹⁵N isotopes (LC-MS/internal standards), azide/alkyne or other functional handles for conjugation
- QC & documentation: standard COA or enhanced analytical pack (HPLC/LC-MS/NMR), chiral purity, residual solvents, water content (KF), method-specific specs
- Scale & continuity: mg to gram scale, bulk pricing, lot reservation, repeat-order continuity
