4-HNE-dimethylacetal
(E)-4R-hydroxynonenal-dimethylacetal (Each vial contains 6.8mg which yields ~5.2mg 4-HNE after deprotection)
4-Hydroxynonenal (4-HNE or HNE) is an α,β-unsaturated hydroxyalkenal which is produced by lipid peroxidation in cells. 4-HNE has been hypothesized by several researchers to play a key role in cell signal transduction, in a variety of pathways from cell cycle events to cellular adhesion.
The dimethylacetal derivative is a more stable form of 4-HNE which is good for long term storage of the compound during use. It can be easily converted to 4-HNE in the presence of acid (see deprotection procedure).
Each vial contains 6.8mg which yields ~5.2mg 4-HNE after deprotection.
