Metabolite Identification
Common Name(R)-3-Hydroxydecanoic acid
Description(R)-3-Hydroxydecanoic acid, also known as 3-HDA or myrmicacin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as medium-chain hydroxy acids and derivatives. These are hydroxy acids with a 6 to 12 carbon atoms long side chain (R)-3-Hydroxydecanoic acid exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to plants to humans. In humans, (R)-3-hydroxydecanoic acid is involved in the fatty acid biosynthesis pathway (R)-3-Hydroxydecanoic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make (R)-3-hydroxydecanoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods (R)-3-Hydroxydecanoic acid is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on (R)-3-Hydroxydecanoic acid.
