1-Hexadecanol, also known as Palmityl alcohol, is a fatty alcohol and a lipophilic substrate that can be utilized in ferroptosis research. It has demonstrated various biological activities in vitro, including increasing lipid peroxidation in HT1080 cells and enhancing the sensitivity of FAR1 KO HT1080 cells to ferroptosis. This product is a solid that ships at room temperature and should be stored at 4°C, protected from light.
- Increases the level of lipid peroxidation in HT1080 cells.
- Increases FAR1 KO HT1080 cells sensitivity to ferroptosis.
- No effect on RSL3-induced ferroptosis in HT1080 cells expressing GNPAT or AGPS shRNA.
- Fatty alcohol and lipophilic substrate.
