Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Hydroxydodecanoic acid
Description3-Hydroxydodecanoic acid, also known as beta-hydroxylauric acid or b-hydroxydodecanoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as medium-chain hydroxy acids and derivatives. These are hydroxy acids with a 6 to 12 carbon atoms long side chain. 3-Hydroxydodecanoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. In cattle, 3-hydroxydodecanoic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called fatty acid biosynthesis pathway.
