Disease relevance of hexadecanoic acid

  • In this report, we examined the ability of peptides, covalently coupled to palmitic acid and incorporated into liposomes, to induce virus-specific T cell responses that confer protection against a lethal challenge of HSV-2 [1].
  • The three vaccine components included HBV core antigen peptide 18-27 as the CTL epitope, tetanus toxoid peptide 830-843 as the T helper peptide, and two palmitic acid molecules as the lipids [2].
  • Studies on the attachment of myristic and palmitic acid to cell proteins in human squamous carcinoma cell lines: evidence for two pathways [3].
  • This contrasted with Harvey sarcoma virus, in which two forms of p21v-H-ras contained palmitic acid [4].
  • A CTL epitope derived from the hepatitis B core protein amino acids 18-27 has been incorporated into a vaccine also comprised of a T-helper cell epitope and 2 palmitic acid residues (CY-1899) [5].

Gene context of hexadecanoic acid

  • The extension by three residues, -Val-Leu-Ser, generating a ras-typical C-terminal end, did not interfere with the mutant YPT1 protein's function although it resulted in a reduced labelling with palmitic acid [30].
  • In rodents, the principal fatty acid produced by FAS is palmitic acid (16:0) [34].
  • Constitutive liver beta-oxidation of the long chain fatty acid, palmitic acid, was lower in the PPARalpha null mice as compared with wild type mice, indicating defective mitochondrial fatty acid catabolism [35].
  • Exogenous radioactive palmitic acid is incorporated post-translationally into the HLA-B and -DR heavy chains, but not HLA-A heavy chains or -DR light chains of the human B lymphoblastoid cells JY and T51 . Protease digestions localize the label to the transmembrane region of the B7 heavy chain [36].
  • CYP2C8 crystallized as a symmetric dimer formed by the interaction of helices F, F', G', and G. Two molecules of palmitic acid are bound in the dimer interface [37].
