General description

9-(Palmitoyloxy)octadecanoic acid (9-PAHSA) is a palmitic acid ester of 9-hydroxystearic acid.

Application

9-(Palmitoyloxy)octadecanoic acid or 9-PAHSA might be used as a standard to confirm the quantification of fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs) by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS). It has also been used to study its effect on apoptosis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Palmitic acid and hydroxystearic acid (PAHSA) levels correlate highly with insulin sensitivity and are reduced in adipose tissue and serum of insulin-resistant humans. In adipocytes, PAHSAs signal through G-protein-coupled receptor 120 (GPR120) to enhance insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. PAHSAs are fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs), which are endogenous lipids with the potential to treat diabetes and inflammation.
