ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionOctadecanol, also known as octadecanol or octadecanol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as long-chain fatty alcohols. These are fatty alcohols that have an aliphatic tail of 13 to 21 carbon atoms. Thus, octadecanol is considered to be a fatty alcohol lipid molecule. Octadecanol exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Dhap(18:0) and octadecanol can be converted into dhap(18:0E) and stearic acid; which is mediated by the enzyme dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase and alkyldihydroxyacetonephosphate synthase. In cattle, octadecanol is involved in the metabolic pathway called plasmalogen synthesis pathway.
