Metabolite Identification
Common NameNonaprene
DescriptionNonaprene is a carotenoid metabolite belonging to the chemical class of terpenoids, specifically characterized by its structure as a linear polyene. It is involved in various biochemical pathways related to the biosynthesis of carotenoids, which are important pigments in plants and certain microorganisms. In the context of carotenoid metabolism, nonaprene is identified as an intermediate along with other compounds such as 2-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-epsilon,psi-carotene and sarcinene, 2,2'-bis(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-epsilon,epsilon-carotene. These compounds, including nonaprene, contribute to the diversity of carotenoid profiles found in various organisms. The study of these metabolites enhances the understanding of carotenoid biosynthesis and its regulation, as well as the ecological roles these pigments play in processes such as photosynthesis and photoprotection. The identification of nonaprene and its related intermediates underscores the complexity of carotenoid biosynthetic pathways and their significance in the metabolic networks of organisms that produce them (PMID:11511870 ).
