Lignocerate Analysis Service

Lignocerate, also known as tetracosanoic acid, is a 24-carbon long saturated fatty acid. It plays an essential role in biological processes, such as lipid metabolism, inflammation, and differentiation of immune cells. Abnormal levels of lignocerate are associated with a variety of metabolic disorders, including adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), a genetic disorder affecting the nervous system and adrenal glands. Studying lignocerate can provide crucial insights into these health conditions, and help in developing more effective therapeutic strategies. Additionally, as lignocerate is a key component of the myelin sheath and cell membranes, studying it can also provide valuable information about the processes of myelination and cellular function.
