Myristic acid {90000426} Record Keys Parent:[ ] Definition:Myristic acid Queue:[ ] Details Initialisation date:[ ] Specification: [ ]Source: [ ] Meta Information Structural Type:[ ] Functional Type:[ ] Function:[ ] Notes: [ ]Shared Reference Notes [1.1] [#Bacillus subtilis] - myristic acid is involved in the post-translational folding of proteins in humansan d can inhibit the activity of some bacterial ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, for instance, observed for #Bacillus multidrug-resistance ATP (BmrA) of #Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis). [1.2] [#Irritable bowel syndrome] - elevated concentrations of #Butyryl carnitine and tetradecanedioate are associated with heightened vulnerability to IBS, while increasing levels of #Stearate (18:0) exhibit a protective effect. - #Stearate (18:0), #Butyryl carnitine and tetradecanedioate can directly affect IBS independently of other metabolites. - Tetradecanedioate, also known as “myristic acid”, is a dicarboxylic acid with a 14-carbon atom chain.References Notes[ ]
