Metabolite Identification
Common NameDihydrolipoate
DescriptionDihydrolipoate, also known as dihydrolipoate or dihydrolipoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as medium-chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 4 and 12 carbon atoms. Dihydrolipoate is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Dihydrolipoate exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Dihydrolipoate participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Dihydrolipoate and 5,10-methylene-THF can be biosynthesized from tetrahydrofolic acid and 8-[(aminomethyl)sulfanyl]-6-sulfanyloctanoic acid through its interaction with the enzyme aminomethyltransferase, mitochondrial. In addition, Dihydrolipoate can be converted into (R)-lipoic acid; which is mediated by the enzyme dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase, mitochondrial. In cattle, dihydrolipoate is involved in the metabolic pathway called the glycine and serine metabolism pathway.
