N-Stearoyl-glycine is used in the study of bioactive N-acyl amides.
Definition
ChEBI: N-octadecanoylglycine is a fatty acid amide resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of octadecanoic acid with the amino group of glycine. It has a role as a human metabolite. It is a N-acylglycine 18:0 and a fatty amide. It is functionally related to an octadecanoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a N-octadecanoylglycinate.
