Mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, CAS 4376-20-9

Product Description: Mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) is a major bioactive metabolite of diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP). Mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate can promote fatty acid synthesis in hepatocytes by regulating the expression of relevant genes and proteins, contributing to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)[1].

Applications: Metabolism-protein/nucleotide metabolism

Formula: C16H22O4
