Metabolite Identification
Common Name8,11,14-Eicosatrienoic acid
Description8,11,14-Eicosatrienoic acid, also known as (Z,Z,Z)-8,11,14-icosatrienoate or dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as long-chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 13 and 21 carbon atoms. 8,11,14-Eicosatrienoic acid is a drug which is used for nutritional supplementation, also for treating dietary shortage or imbalance. 8,11,14-Eicosatrienoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 8,11,14-Eicosatrienoic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, 8,11,14-Eicosatrienoic acid can be biosynthesized from Gamma-linolenic acid through its interaction with the enzyme elongation OF very long chain fatty acids protein 5. In addition, 8,11,14-Eicosatrienoic acid can be converted into arachidonic acid; which is mediated by the enzyme fatty acid desaturase 1. In cattle, 8,11,14-eicosatrienoic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the Alpha linolenic Acid and linoleic Acid metabolism pathway. 8,11,14-Eicosatrienoic acid has been found to be associated with the diseases known as colorectal cancer; also 8,11,14-eicosatrienoic acid has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including isovaleric acidemia.

Enzymes

Enzyme Details
1. Acyl-CoA 6-desaturase
General function:
Lipid transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Acts as a fatty acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) desaturase that introduces a cis double bond at carbon 6 of the fatty acyl chain. Involved in biosynthesis of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) from the essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) linoleic acid (LA) (18:2n-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) (18:3n-3) precursors. Catalyzes the first and rate limiting step in this pathway which is the desaturation of LA (18:2n-6) and ALA (18:3n-3) into gamma-linoleate (GLA) (18:3n-6) and stearidonate (18:4n-3), respectively (By similarity). Subsequently, in the biosynthetic pathway of HUFA n-3 series, desaturates tetracosapentaenoate (24:5n-3) to tetracosahexaenoate (24:6n-3), which is then converted to docosahexaenoate (DHA)(22:6n-3), an important lipid for nervous system function (By similarity). Desaturates palmitate to produce the mono-unsaturated fatty acid sapienate, the most abundant fatty acid in sebum (By similarity). Also desaturates (11E)-octadecenoate (trans-vaccenoate)(18:1n-9), a metabolite in the biohydrogenation pathway of LA (18:2n-6) (By similarity).

2. Elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein 5
General function:
Not Available
Specific function:
Catalyzes the first and rate-limiting reaction of the four reactions that constitute the long-chain fatty acids elongation cycle. This endoplasmic reticulum-bound enzymatic process allows the addition of 2 carbons to the chain of long- and very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) per cycle. Condensing enzyme that acts specifically toward polyunsaturated acyl-CoA with the higher activity toward C18:3(n-6) acyl-CoA. May participate in the production of monounsaturated and of polyunsaturated VLCFAs of different chain lengths that are involved in multiple biological processes as precursors of membrane lipids and lipid mediators (By similarity). In conditions where the essential linoleic and alpha linoleic fatty acids are lacking it is also involved in the synthesis of Mead acid from oleic acid (By similarity).
