Description
cis-9,10-Methyleneoctadecanoic acid methyl ester is a cyclopropane fatty acid methyl ester.
1 It stimulates DNA synthesis in rat hepatocytes.
cis-9,10-Methyleneoctadecanoic acid methyl ester has been used as a standard for the quantification of
cis-9,10-methyleneoctadecanoic acid in bacterial membranes by co-chromatography.
