Identification
Common Name(R)-3-Hydroxyhexanoic acid
ClassSmall Molecule
Description(R)-3-Hydroxyhexanoic acid belongs to the class of organic compounds known as medium-chain hydroxy acids and derivatives. These are hydroxy acids with a 6 to 12 carbon atoms long side chain (R)-3-Hydroxyhexanoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral (R)-3-Hydroxyhexanoic acid exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans (R)-3-Hydroxyhexanoic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, (R)-3-Hydroxyhexanoic acid can be biosynthesized from 3-oxohexanoic acid; which is catalyzed by the enzyme fatty acid synthase. Beta ketoacyl synthase domain. In addition, (R)-3-Hydroxyhexanoic acid can be converted into trans-hex-2-enoic acid through the action of the enzyme fatty acid synthase. dyhydrase domain. In cattle, (R)-3-hydroxyhexanoic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called fatty acid biosynthesis pathway.
