General description
Methyl palmitate (PAME), a fatty acid ester of palmitic acid, is a muscurinic receptors antagonist. Methyl palmitate functions as a vasodilator and relaxes the arterioles in retina upon electrical depolarization. In the superior cervical ganglion, methyl palmitate modulates nicotinic receptor. Endogenous methyl palmitate modulates nicotinic receptor-mediated transmission in the superior cervical ganglion. PAME activates Kv7 channels and promotes perivascular adipose tissue.
Application
Methyl palmitate has been used to test impact of cerebral blood flow using laser doppler flowmetry (LDF) experiments and as a standard to determine retention indices (RIs) using gas chromatograph−mass spectrometer
