Metabolite Identification
Common NameHexadecane
DescriptionHexadecane, also known as cetan or CH3-[CH2]14-CH3, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkanes. These are acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2 , and therefore consisting entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms. Thus, hexadecane is considered to be a hydrocarbon. Hexadecane, with regard to humans, has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Hexadecane.
