Metabolite Identification
Common Nametrans-Hex-2-enoic acid
Descriptiontrans-Hex-2-enoic acid, also known as trans-hex-2-enoic acid, 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. trans-Hex-2-enoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. trans-Hex-2-enoic acid exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. trans-Hex-2-enoic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, trans-Hex-2-enoic acid can be biosynthesized from (R)-3-hydroxyhexanoic acid; which is mediated by the enzyme fatty acid synthase. dyhydrase domain. In addition, trans-Hex-2-enoic acid can be converted into caproic acid through its interaction with the enzyme fatty acid synthase. enoyl reductase domain. In cattle, trans-hex-2-enoic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called fatty acid biosynthesis pathway.
