Metabolite Identification

Common Name

Caproic acid

Description

Caproic acid, also known as hexanoate or caproate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as medium-chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 4 and 12 carbon atoms. Caproic acid exists as a liquid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Caproic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. In cattle, caproic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the mitochondrial Beta-oxidation OF short chain saturated fatty acids pathway. Caproic acid is a potentially toxic compound. Caproic acid has been found to be associated with several diseases known as perillyl alcohol administration for cancer treatment, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, ulcerative colitis, and crohn's disease; also caproic acid has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including medium chain acyl-coa dehydrogenase deficiency.
