Metabolite Identification
Common NameTG(10:0/10:0/10:0)[iso]
DescriptionTG(10:0/10:0/10:0), also known as caprin or glycerol tridecanoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as triacylglycerols. These are glycerides consisting of three fatty acid chains covalently bonded to a glycerol molecule through ester linkages. Thus, TG(10:0/10:0/10:0) is considered to be a triradylglycerol lipid molecule. TG(10:0/10:0/10:0) is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. TG(10:0/10:0/10:0) exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. TG(10:0/10:0/10:0) can be biosynthesized from DG(10:0/10:0/0:0) and decanoyl-CoA; which is catalyzed by the enzyme diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase. In cattle, TG(10:0/10:0/10:0) is involved in the metabolic pathway called de novo triacylglycerol biosynthesis TG(10:0/10:0/10:0) pathway.
