Metabolite Identification
Common Name13-cis-Retinal
Description13-cis-13-cis-13-cis-retinal, also known as 13Z-13-cis-retinal or 13-cis-retinal, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as retinoids. These are oxygenated derivatives of 3,7-dimethyl-1-(2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-1-enyl)nona-1,3,5,7-tetraene and derivatives thereof. Thus, 13-cis-13-cis-retinal is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. 13-cis-13-cis-13-cis-retinal is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 13-cis-13-cis-13-cis-retinal exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. In cattle, 13-cis-13-cis-retinal is involved in the metabolic pathway called the retinol metabolism pathway.
