Metabolite Identification
Common NameHexanoyl-CoA
DescriptionHexanoyl-CoA, also known as caproyl-CoA or N-hexanoyl-CoA, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 2,3,4-saturated fatty acyl coas. These are acyl-CoAs carrying a 2,3,4-saturated fatty acyl chain. Thus, hexanoyl-CoA is considered to be a fatty ester lipid molecule. Hexanoyl-CoA is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Hexanoyl-CoA exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. In cattle, hexanoyl-CoA is involved in the metabolic pathway called the mitochondrial Beta-oxidation OF short chain saturated fatty acids pathway. Hexanoyl-CoA is a potentially toxic compound.
