N-Oleoyl-L-phenylalanine
Based on 1 Customer Validation
N-Oleoyl-L-phenylalanine is a long-chain N-acyl-L-phenylalanine and also a mitochondrial uncoupler. N-Oleoyl-L-phenylalanine uncouples UCP1-independent respiration in mitochondria, thereby helping to regulate glucose homeostasis. As an endogenous metabolite, the level of N-Oleoyl-L-phenylalanine increases in patients with ulcerative colitis after a high-fat diet. N-Oleoyl-L-phenylalanine can be used in studies related to ulcerative colitis.

Biological Activity
N-oleoyl-L-phenylalanine uncouples UPC1-independent respiration in mammalian mitochondria and may participate in the regulation of glucose homeostasis[2].
N-oleoyl-L-phenylalanine is an endogenous cell-signaling lipid molecule structurally related to endocannabinoid lipids[2].
N-oleoyl-L-phenylalanine can be directly synthesized via the condensation of oleic acid and L-phenylalanine catalyzed by the mammalian enzyme peptidase M20 domain PM20D1 under physiological pH and substrate concentration conditions. Its production level corresponds to the intracellular concentrations of L-phenylalanine and oleic acid as well as the reaction equilibrium constant (Keq)[2].
