Metabolite Identification
Common NameDocosahexaenoic acid
DescriptionDocosahexaenoic acid, also known as all-cis-dha or doconexent, 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. Docosahexaenoic acid is a drug which is used as a high-docosahexaenoic acid (dha) oral supplement. . Docosahexaenoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. In cattle, docosahexaenoic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the Alpha linolenic Acid and linoleic Acid metabolism pathway.
