Metabolite Identification
Common NameTetracosapentaenoic acid (24:5n-3)
DescriptionTetracosapentaenoic acid (24:5N-3), also known as 9Z,12Z,15Z,18Z,21Z-tetracosapentaenoate or 24:5 (N-3), 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. Tetracosapentaenoic acid (24:5N-3) is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Tetracosapentaenoic acid (24:5N-3) participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Tetracosapentaenoic acid (24:5N-3) can be biosynthesized from docosapentaenoic acid (22N-3) through the action of the enzyme elongation OF very long chain fatty acids protein 4. In addition, Tetracosapentaenoic acid (24:5N-3) can be converted into tetracosahexaenoic acid; which is catalyzed by the enzyme fatty acid desaturase 2. In cattle, tetracosapentaenoic acid (24:5N-3) is involved in the metabolic pathway called the Alpha linolenic Acid and linoleic Acid metabolism pathway.

Enzymes

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).
