Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Oxohexanoic acid
Description3-Oxohexanoic acid, also known as 3-oxohexanoic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as medium-chain keto acids and derivatives. These are keto acids with a 6 to 12 carbon atoms long side chain. 3-Oxohexanoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 3-Oxohexanoic acid exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. 3-Oxohexanoic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, 3-Oxohexanoic acid can be biosynthesized from butyric acid and malonic acid through its interaction with the enzyme fatty acid synthase. Beta ketoacyl synthase domain. In addition, 3-Oxohexanoic acid can be converted into (R)-3-hydroxyhexanoic acid; which is mediated by the enzyme fatty acid synthase. Beta ketoacyl synthase domain. In cattle, 3-oxohexanoic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called fatty acid biosynthesis pathway.
