Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Oxodecanoic acid
Description3-Oxodecanoic acid, also known as 3-oxodecanoate or beta-ketocapric acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as medium-chain keto acids and derivatives. These are keto acids with a 6 to 12 carbon atoms long side chain. In humans fatty acids are predominantly formed in the liver and adipose tissue, and mammary glands during lactation. 3-Oxodecanoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 3-Oxodecanoic acid exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. Within humans, 3-oxodecanoic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, 3-oxodecanoic acid can be biosynthesized from caprylic acid and malonic acid through the action of the enzyme fatty acid synthase. Beta ketoacyl synthase domain. In addition, 3-oxodecanoic acid can be converted into (R)-3-hydroxydecanoic acid; which is mediated by the enzyme fatty acid synthase. Beta ketoacyl synthase domain. In humans, 3-oxodecanoic acid is involved in fatty acid biosynthesis. Specifically, 3-Oxodecanoic acid is converted from Malonic acid via three enzymes; 3-oxoacyl- synthase, fatty-acid Synthase and beta-ketoacyl -acyl-carrier-protein synthase II. 3-Oxodecanoic acid is an intermediate in fatty acid biosynthesis.
