Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Oxooctanoic acid
Description3-Oxooctanoic acid, also known as 3-oxooctanoic acid or 3-keto-N-caprylate, 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-Oxooctanoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 3-Oxooctanoic acid exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. 3-Oxooctanoic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, 3-Oxooctanoic acid can be biosynthesized from caproic acid and malonic acid through its interaction with the enzyme fatty acid synthase. Beta ketoacyl synthase domain. In addition, 3-Oxooctanoic acid can be converted into (R)-3-hydroxyoctanoic acid; which is mediated by the enzyme fatty acid synthase. Beta ketoacyl synthase domain. In cattle, 3-oxooctanoic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called fatty acid biosynthesis pathway.
