Background:

16-hydroxy Hexadecanoic acid is a metabolite of the saturated fatty acid palmitic acid (16:0) that has been hydroxylated on its terminal (ω) carbon. It is produced by ω-hydroxylation of palmitic acid by cytochrome P450 in both plants and animals. In plants, it is commonly a component of cutin.
