Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Hydroxyoctanoic acid
Description3-Hydroxyoctanoic acid, also known as 3-hydroxy-octanoate or 3-OH-caprylic 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. 3-Hydroxyoctanoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. In cattle, 3-hydroxyoctanoic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called fatty acid biosynthesis pathway.
