Metabolite Identification
Common NamePentacosanoic acid
DescriptionPentacosanoic acid, also known as pentacosanoate or hyenate, is a straight-chain saturated fatty acid and a very long-chain fatty acid. It is a conjugate acid of a pentacosanoate. Pentacosanoic acid belongs to the class of organic compounds known as very long-chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains at least 22 carbon atoms. Pentacosanoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Pentacosanoic acid is a potentially toxic compound.
