1,5-dimethylhexane-1-carboxylic acid Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

2,6-Dimethylheptanoic Acid is the product from the oxidative degradation of phytanic acid in mammals; Also, it is an intermediate used in the synthesis of 2,6-Dimethylheptanoyl-CoA (D473440), which is a specific substrate for long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCAD) which plays a major role in branched-chain fatty acid oxidation.

Definition

ChEBI: 2,6-dimethylheptanoic acid is a methyl-branched chain fatty acid that is heptanoic acid substituted by a methyl group at positions 2 and 6. It has a role as a bacterial xenobiotic metabolite. It is a methyl-branched fatty acid and a medium-chain fatty acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 2,6-dimethylheptanoate.
