Metabolite Identification
Common Name(R)-3-Hydroxy-hexadecanoic acid
Description(R)-3-Hydroxy-hexadecanoic acid, also known as (R)-(r)-3-hydroxy-hexadecanoic acid or (R)-β-hydroxypalmitate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as long-chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 13 and 21 carbon atoms (R)-3-Hydroxy-hexadecanoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral (R)-3-Hydroxy-hexadecanoic acid exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans (R)-3-Hydroxy-hexadecanoic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, (R)-3-Hydroxy-hexadecanoic acid can be biosynthesized from 3-oxohexadecanoic acid through its interaction with the enzyme fatty acid synthase. Beta ketoacyl synthase domain. In addition, (R)-3-Hydroxy-hexadecanoic acid can be converted into trans-hexa-dec-2-enoic acid through the action of the enzyme fatty acid synthase. dyhydrase domain. In cattle, (R)-3-hydroxy-hexadecanoic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called fatty acid biosynthesis pathway.
