1189-37-3 Usage
Uses
Pristanic Acid is a lipid that has been analyzed in a toxicity profiling of free fatty acids in human pancreatic beta-cells.
Definition
ChEBI: A branched, long-chain saturated fatty acid composed of pentadecanoic acid having methyl substituents at the 2-, 6-, 10- and 14-positions.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Oxidation product of fatty acids in the diet, particularly phytanic acid. Phytanic acid is oxidized by alpha oxidation yielding pristanic acid, which is subsequently degraded by peroxisomal beta oxidation. Several inborn errors of metabolism with one or more deficiencies in the phytanic acid and pristanic acid breakdown have been described.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 1189-37-3 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 1,1,8 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 7 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 1189-37:
(6*1)+(5*1)+(4*8)+(3*9)+(2*3)+(1*7)=83
83 % 10 = 3
So 1189-37-3 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
