stearic acid is a lipid of Fatty Acyls (FA) class. Stearic acid is associated with abnormalities such as Helminthiasis, Exanthema, Chronic disease, Obesity and Dyslipidemias. The involved functions are known as acyltransferase activity, Mutation, Cell division, cell fate and Fatty Acid Metabolism. Stearic acid often locates in membrane fraction, Mouse Liver, Membrane, Body tissue and Endoplasmic reticulum, membrane. The associated genes with stearic acid are Homologous Gene, ACLY gene, Transgenes, FATE1 gene and Alleles. The related lipids are Lysophospholipids, Stearic acid, Fatty Acids, cis-vaccenic acid and Phosphatidylserines. The related experimental models are Knock-out.
To understand associated biological information of stearic acid, we collected biological information of abnormalities, associated pathways, cellular/molecular locations, biological functions, related genes/proteins, lipids and common seen animal/experimental models with organized paragraphs from literatures.
stearic acid is suspected in Obesity, Diabetes, Fatty Liver, Hyperinsulinism, Cardiovascular Diseases, Infection and other diseases in descending order of the highest number of associated sentences.

Knock-out are used in the study 'Stearic acid accumulation in macrophages induces toll-like receptor 4/2-independent inflammation leading to endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis.' (Anderson EK et al., 2012) and Knock-out are used in the study 'Genome-wide association study identifies novel loci associated with concentrations of four plasma phospholipid fatty acids in the de novo lipogenesis pathway: results from the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) consortium.' (Wu JH et al., 2013).
