Metabolite Identification
Common NameTetracosanoic acid
DescriptionLignoceric acid, also known as tetraeicosanoate or CH3-[CH2]22-COOH, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as very long-chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains at least 22 carbon atoms. Lignoceric acid exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Lignoceric acid exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. Lignoceric acid is a potentially toxic compound.

Enzymes

General function:
Lipid transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Catalyzes the conversion of fatty acids such as long-chain and very long-chain fatty acids to their active form acyl-CoAs for both synthesis of cellular lipids, and degradation via beta-oxidation. Can activate diverse saturated, monosaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
