Application
Lanolin has been used as a constituent of VALAP (Vaseline, lanolin, paraffin) to stabilize glass slides during worm-immobilization method. It has also been used to transport auxin in to Arabidopsis to induce petiole torsions.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Lanolin is a complex waxy substance composed of varying quantities of long-chain waxy esters and lanolin alcohols, acids and polycarbons. Lanolin is used in a wide variety of creams, ointments and emollients. Lanolin is often studied to determine it allergenic properties.
