Description and Uses

2-Bromopalmitic acid (18263-25-7) inhibits?protein S-palmitoylation.1 Blocks palmitic acid-induced increase in cAMP levels in human primary melanocytes expressing the melanocortin-1 receptor which undergoes an essential palmitoylation as a prerequisite for receptor signaling.2

2-Bromopalmitic Acid is used in preparation of substituted purines and their analogs for inhibiting the expression of a pattern recognition receptor.
