Notes: α-Linolenic acid methyl ester is a natural methylated form of α-linolenic acid (Item No. 90210).{14947,32168} Unlike α-linolenic acid, linolenic acid methyl ester is a poor agonist of GPR120, does not inhibit voltage-dependent calcium channels in β-cells, and only weakly inhibits melanogenesis in mouse B16 melanoma cells.{31125,32166,32167}
