lauric acid

lauric acid is a lipid of Fatty Acyls (FA) class. Lauric acid is associated with abnormalities such as Infection, Renal tubular disorder, Hypertensive disease, Obesity and Mycoses. The involved functions are known as Transcription, Genetic, Signal Transduction, Mutation, metaplastic cell transformation and Anabolism. Lauric acid often locates in Skin, Plasma membrane, Cytoplasmic matrix, Body tissue and Palmar surface. The associated genes with lauric acid are Gene Family, SLC33A1 gene, Homologous Gene, Open Reading Frames and P4HTM gene. The related lipids are Fatty Acids, Oleic Acids, Palmitates, Stearates and 9,11-linoleic acid.
