Biological Activity

[Description]:

2-Bromohexadecanoic acid (2-Bromopalmitic acid) can be converted to 2-bromopalmitate (2-BP). 2-BP is a palmitoylation inhibitor targeting DHHC (Asp-His-His-Cys) protein palmitoyltransferase. 2-BP inhibits palmitoylation of GSDME-C during pyroptosis and inhibits BAK/BAX-Caspase 3-GSDME pathway-mediated pyroptosis[1].
