Identification
Common NameMethylenesuccinic acid
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionItaconic acid, also known as itaconate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as branched fatty acids. These are fatty acids containing a branched chain. Itaconic acid exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Itaconic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.
