Molecule Details
Packaging 1 kg in poly bottle 1 sample in glass bottle 5, 10, 25 kg in fiber drum Biochem/physiol Actions Myristic acid is commonly added via a covalent linkage to the N-terminal glycine of many eukaryotic and viral proteins, a process called myristoylation. Myristoylation enables proteins to bind to cell membranes and facilitates protein-protein interactions. Myristolyation of proteins affect many cellular functions and thus has implications in health and disease 1.
