Identification
Common Name(R)-3-Hydroxybutyric acid
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionThe R-enantiomer of 3-hydroxybutyric acid. Involved in the synthesis and degradation of ketone bodies, it can be used as an energy source by the brain during hypoglycaemia, and for the synthesis of biodegradable plastics. It is a sex pheremone in the European spider Linyphia triangularis.
