Description
Synonyms: Myristic Acid Thiol; Thiol-Myristic Acid; 14-Mercaptotetradecanoic Acid
Thiol Myristic Acid is a thiol-functionalized C14 saturated fatty acid conjugate designed for lipid-based applications and bioconjugation. The terminal thiol group provides a versatile reactive handle for covalent conjugation with thiol-reactive molecules, including maleimide-, iodoacetamide-, and other electrophile-functionalized compounds.
The hydrophobic myristic acid chain promotes association with lipid bilayers, liposomes, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), and other hydrophobic environments, while the terminal thiol enables subsequent surface functionalization or covalent attachment of biomolecules, fluorescent probes, polymers, and other functional compounds. This combination provides a convenient approach for incorporating a reactive thiol group into lipid-based systems.
