Metabolite Identification
Common NameNicotinic acid
DescriptionNicotinic acid, also known as niacin or nicotinate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyridinecarboxylic acids. Pyridinecarboxylic acids are compounds containing a pyridine ring bearing a carboxylic acid group. Nicotinic acid is a drug which is used for the treatment of type iv and v hyperlipidemia. it is indicated as ajunctive therapy. Nicotinic acid exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Nicotinic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Nicotinic acid and ribose 1-phosphate can be biosynthesized from nicotinate D-ribonucleoside through the action of the enzyme purine nucleoside phosphorylase. In cattle, nicotinic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism pathway. Nicotinic acid is a potentially toxic compound.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase activity
Specific function:
Essential acyltransferase that catalyzes the terminal and only committed step in triacylglycerol synthesis by using diacylglycerol and fatty acyl CoA as substrates. Required for synthesis and storage of intracellular triglycerides. Probably plays a central role in cytosolic lipid accumulation. In liver, is primarily responsible for incorporating endogenously synthesized fatty acids into triglycerides. Functions also as an acyl-CoA retinol acyltransferase (ARAT) (By similarity).
