Metabolite Identification
Common NameSterolic acid
DescriptionSterolic acid is a unique acetylenic fatty acid belonging to the chemical class of sterols. Its chemical structure features a distinctive alkyne functional group, which contributes to its reactivity and potential biological roles. Sterolic acid has been identified as a metabolite in various organisms, including fungi, where it is isolated from species such as Penicillium sp. (PMID:22412815 ). This compound is notable for its presence in oils, where it contributes to the profile of unsaturated fatty acids, comprising 89.41% of the total fatty acid content in certain extracts (PMID:30905238 ). The pathways involving sterolic acid may include lipid metabolism and signaling processes, although specific biological functions remain to be fully elucidated. Additionally, sterolic acid shares structural similarities with other compounds like cholic acid, acitretin, and mupirocin, indicating potential interactions within metabolic pathways (PMID:35372666 ). Overall, sterolic acid represents a fascinating area of study within the realm of lipid biochemistry and its implications in various biological contexts.
