Disease relevance of tetracosanoic acid

 

High impact information on tetracosanoic acid

  • In the complementing combinations, fused cells showed increased lignoceric acid oxidation, resistance against 1-pyrene dodecanoic acid/UV selection, and normalization of the size and the distribution of peroxisomes [2].
  • To further define the defect in these two forms of X chromosome-linked ALD, we examined the oxidation of [1-14C]lignoceric acid (n-tetracosanoic acid, C24:0) and [1-14C]lignoceroyl-CoA (substrates for the first and second steps of beta-oxidation, respectively) [6].
  • Microsomal fractions prepared from transfected COS7 cells showed tetracosanoic acid 2-hydroxylase activities in an NADPH- and NADPH: cytochrome P-450 reductase-dependent manner [7].
  • In contrast, constitutive oxidation of the very long chain fatty acid, lignoceric acid, was not different between wild type and PPARalpha null mice, suggesting that constitutive expression of enzymes involved in peroxisomal beta-oxidation is independent of PPARalpha [8].
  • Moreover, the lack of effect of removal of ATP or substitution with AMPOPCP (a nonhydrolyzable substrate) demonstrates that the translocation of palmitoyl-CoA and lignoceric acid across peroxisomal membrane does not require energy [9].

Gene context of tetracosanoic acid

  • Varying concentrations (2.5 to 10 microg ml(-1)) of VLCFAs, lignoceric acid and cerotic acid, significantly (p < 0.001) increased the enzymic activity of NOX in cultures of human dermal fibroblasts [24].
  • RESULTS: Treatment of skin slices with lignoceric acid significantly increased (p < 0.001) the enzymic activities of acid lipase, acid phosphatase, alpha-glucosidase, alpha-galactosidase, N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminidase (NAGA) and N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosaminidase (NAGTA) [25].
  • Biochemical abnormalities including defective lignoceric acid oxidation, dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase deficiency, and disturbed biosynthesis of peroxisomal beta-oxidation enzymes were preserved in the transformants [26].
  • Residual lignoceric acid beta-oxidation activity varied from approximately 15% in Zellweger syndrome up to 50% in X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy [27].
  • Other minor acyl trehaloses were detected in M. tuberculosis (strain Canetti), differing from the major component by the occurrence of an additional hydroxy fatty acid (3-hydroxy-2,4,6-trimethyl tetracosanoic acid) or by the number of acyl substituents [28].
