Stearoyl ethanolamide, >=98%, crystalline

Application

Stearoyl ethanolamide (NSE) has been used as standard for quantifying in house synthesized NSE using thin layer chromatography.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Most abundant fatty acid ethanolamide produced by PLD hydrolysis of cell membrane phospholipids.

General description

Stearoyl ethanolamide, also called N-stearoylethanolamine (NSE) is present ubiquitously in all mammals. It exists in three isoforms when synthesized. It has therapeutic potential to modulate immune and inflammatory responses. It also possess antioxidative and membranoprotective functionality. NSE molecules pack in tail-to-tail fashion in lipid bilayer.
