Biological Activity
Branched fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs) are a class of endogenous lipids whose levels are modulated by fasting and high-fat diets and are linked to insulin sensitivity. These compounds typically consist of a C-16 or C-18 fatty acid, such as palmitoleic, palmitic, oleic, or stearic acid, esterified to a hydroxylated C-16 or C-18 lipid. One specific form of FAHFA, known as 9-OAHSA, involves the esterification of oleic acid to 9-hydroxy stearic acid. Within the FAHFA family, OAHSAs notably represent the predominant form found in the serum of glucose-tolerant AG4OX mice, which uniquely overexpress the Glut4 glucose transporter in adipose tissue.
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.
Centrifuge the closed vial at 3000 rpm for 1–2 minutes to consolidate the powder at the bottom. For electrostatically charged powders, briefly warm the vial to room temperature and allow it to equilibrate before opening. Then add the appropriate solvent directly onto the powder and vortex before sonicating. Avoid tapping the vial vigorously, as this can generate fine powder aerosol.
If you are using DMSO for preparation,sterilization is not recommended, as DMSO itself possesses strong sterilizing properties. The prepared solution is sterile. For further assurance, it can be left overnight at 4°C. The safest method is to filter through a specialized organic filter membrane. If water is used for preparation,sterilization can be achieved by filtering through a 0.22 μm filter membrane.
