Metabolite Identification
Common NameCis-9,10-methylenehexadecanoic acid
DescriptionCis-9,10-methylenehexadecanoic acid is a cyclopropane fatty acid, classified as a metabolite within the broader category of fatty acids. This compound has been identified as a significant active component in various biochemical pathways, notably influencing the production of triterpenoids (PMID:21468633 ). It is present in the phospholipid profile of certain bacteria, distinguishing them from others, such as Legionella pneumophila (PMID:18462396 ). Additionally, Desulfobacter hydrogenophilus is known to synthesize this fatty acid alongside 10-methylhexadecanoic acid (PMID:14641586 ). In cardiac physiology, cis-9,10-methylenehexadecanoic acid exhibits inhibitory effects on contractility and actomyosin ATPase activity in guinea pig myocardium, as well as significantly reducing Mg(2+)-ATPase activity (PMID:10913372 ). It has also been detected in submitochondrial particles of bovine heart and identified in rat and human heart and liver tissues following hydrolysis by phospholipase A2 (PMID:10064904 ). Furthermore, this fatty acid appears among predominant and major fatty acids in various lipid fractions (PMIDs:9705403, 2912494).
