3-Hydroxydocosanoic acid Usage And Synthesis

Description

3-hydroxy Docosanoic acid is a hydroxylated form of the 22-carbon saturated docosanoic acid . It is found in lipopolysaccharides from C. trachomatis and C. psittaci and in S. synnaedendra. 3-hydroxy Docosanoic acid, in the form of an acyl-CoA metabolite, is an intermediate in fatty acid chain elongation from arachidic acid (C20:0; ) to docosanoic acid (C22:0).

Uses

3-Hydroxydocosanoic acid (β-Hydroxydocosanoic acid) is an ester product.

Definition

ChEBI: 3-hydroxydocosanoic acid is a 3-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid. It is functionally related to a docosanoic acid.
