Uses
12-Methyltetradecanoic acid is an anteiso-C(15)-fatty acid used in studies on the properties and functions of medium-chain anteiso-fatty acids.
Definition
ChEBI: A branched-chain saturated fatty acid comprising tetradecanoic acid carrying a 12-methyl substituent.
Biological Activity
12-Methyltetradecanoic acid (12-methylmyristic acid) is an anteiso-C(15)-fatty acid used in studies on the properties and functions of medium-chain anteiso-fatty acids. 12-methyltetradecanoic acid is studied to understand its antibacterial properties. 12-methyltetradecanoic acid represses the extracellular production of surfactants required for swarming motility in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1.
