Metabolite Identification
Common Name3,5-tetradecadienoate
Description3,5-tetradecadienoate is a fatty acid metabolite belonging to the class of unsaturated fatty acids. Its chemical structure features a long carbon chain with two double bonds located at the 3rd and 5th positions, which contributes to its unique properties and reactivity. In microbial metabolism, particularly in Escherichia coli, 3,5-tetradecadienoate is produced when cells are grown on oleate, indicating its role in the fatty acid degradation pathway. Notably, this metabolite is not detected when cells are grown on palmitate or glucose, suggesting substrate specificity in its biosynthesis (PMID:14707139 ). Furthermore, the 3,5-intermediate, which can inhibit beta-oxidation if it accumulates, is hydrolyzed to form 3,5-tetradecadienoate, which is subsequently excreted into the growth medium (PMID:14707139 ). This process highlights the compound's involvement in lipid metabolism and the regulation of fatty acid oxidation pathways, reflecting its importance in microbial physiology and potential implications in metabolic studies.
