| Chemical properties | Molecular formula: C14H28O2 Structure: CH3(CH2)12COOH (straight-chain saturated fatty acid) Physical state: white crystalline solid (room temperature), melting point about 54°C, insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol and ether. Source: Naturally present in nutmeg seed oil (about 70%), coconut oil (15-20%), and milk fat (8-12%). |
| Biochemical action | Energy metabolism: Broken down into acetyl coenzyme A through β-oxidation, entering the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) for energy supply. |
| Cell membrane composition: | As a phospholipid component (such as phosphatidylinositol), it maintains membrane fluidity. |
| Protein modification: | Participates in myristoylation, covalently attaching fatty acid chains to proteins (such as G proteins, Src kinases), regulating their membrane localization and signal transduction. |
