Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameTetradecane
DescriptionTetradecane, also known as n-tetradecane, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as with the chemical formula CH3-[CH2]12-CH3. These are acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2, and consist entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms. Tetradecane is a hydrocarbon lipid molecule. Tetradecane is very hydrophobic, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Tetradecane is a mild, alkane, and waxy taste. It is found in highest concentrations within black walnuts. Tetradecane has also been detected in lemon balms, common buckwheats, cucumbers, allspices, and green bell peppers. This could make tetradecane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Tetradecane is also found in cannabis plants (PMID: 6991645 ).

Chemical Taxonomy
Description Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkanes. These are acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2 , and therefore consisting entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms.

General function:
Not Available
Specific function:
Seems to have numerous potential physiological functions. Binds to collagen, thrombospondin, anionic phospholipids and oxidized LDL. May function as a cell adhesion molecule. Directly mediates cytoadherence of Plasmodium falciparum parasitized erythrocytes. Binds long chain fatty acids and may function in the transport and/or as a regulator of fatty acid transport
