PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
Octacosanoic acid is a straight-chain saturated fatty acid that is octacosane in which one of the terminal methyl groups has been oxidised to the corresponding carboxy group. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a straight-chain saturated fatty acid and an ultra-long-chain fatty acid. It is a conjugate acid of an octacosanoate.
