Nervonic acid (24:1n-9) is a very long chain fatty acid produced by elongation of oleic acid (18:1n-9) (Item No. 90260) and derived from erucic acid (22:1n-9) (Item No. 90175).{21960} It is enriched in nervous tissue and is particularly abundant in sphingolipids, such as sphingomyelin in the myelin sheath of nerve fibers.{21957} Nervonic acid is poorly produced in demyelinating disorders, including multiple sclerosis and adrenoleukodystrophy, suggesting that dietary supplementation may be beneficial.{21959} In addition, it is deficient in mice which are homozygous for the quaking mutation, a model of Parkinson’s disease.{21955,21956} Nervonic acid also binds and inhibits DNA polymerase ? (Ki = 4.0 uM) and HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (Ki = 1.2 µM).{21958}
