Metabolite Identification
Common Name3,7R,11R,15-tetramethyl-hexadecanoic acid
Description3,7R,11R,15-tetramethyl-hexadecanoic acid is classified as a member of the Acyclic diterpenoids. Acyclic diterpenoids are diterpenoids (compounds made of four consecutive isoprene units) that do not contain a cycle. 3,7R,11R,15-tetramethyl-hexadecanoic acid is considered to be practically insoluble (in water) and acidic. 3,7R,11R,15-tetramethyl-hexadecanoic acid is an isoprenoid lipid molecule
