Application

Palmitic acid (15-yne) has been used as a component of fatty acid probe stock solution for the optimization of Alk-C16 incorporation onto cellular proteins. It is also suitable for metabolic labeling.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Alkynyl palmitic acid (aPA) is a modified palmitic acid with an ω-terminal alkyne. The terminal alkyne group can be used in a highly specific linking reaction with azide-containing reagents, known as ‘click chemistry′. The click chemistry reactions are rapid, convenient, versatile and regiospecific. They are easy to purify. aPA can be used for isolating palmitoylated proteins.

Progress in understanding the biology of protein fatty acylation has been impeded by the lack of rapid direct detection and identification methods. We first report that a synthetic omega-alkynyl-palmitate analog can be readily and specifically incorporated into GAPDH or mitochondrial
