Common Name3-Oxododecanoic acid
Description3-Oxododecanoic acid, also known as 3-oxododecanoate, 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-Oxododecanoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 3-Oxododecanoic acid exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. Within humans, 3-oxododecanoic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, 3-oxododecanoic acid can be biosynthesized from capric acid and malonic acid through its interaction with the enzyme fatty acid synthase. Beta ketoacyl synthase domain. In addition, 3-oxododecanoic acid can be converted into (R)-3-hydroxydodecanoic acid; which is catalyzed by the enzyme fatty acid synthase. Beta ketoacyl synthase domain. In humans, 3-oxododecanoic acid is involved in fatty acid biosynthesis. 3-Oxo-Dodecanoic acid is an intermediate in fatty acid biosynthesis. Specifically, 3-Oxo-Dodecanoic acid is converted form Malonic acid via three enzymes; 3-oxoacyl- synthase, fatty-acid Synthase and beta-ketoacyl -acyl-carrier-protein synthase II.
