Metabolite Identification
Common Nametrans-2-Octenoic acid
Descriptiontrans-2-Octenoic acid, also known as trans-2-octenoic acid, 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. trans-2-Octenoic acid exists as a liquid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. trans-2-Octenoic acid exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. trans-2-Octenoic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, trans-2-Octenoic acid can be biosynthesized from (R)-3-hydroxyoctanoic acid; which is mediated by the enzyme fatty acid synthase. dyhydrase domain. In addition, trans-2-Octenoic acid can be converted into caprylic acid through its interaction with the enzyme fatty acid synthase. enoyl reductase domain. In cattle, trans-2-octenoic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called fatty acid biosynthesis pathway.
