10-Hydroxydecanoic acid is a fatty acid that functions as a precursor in the biosynthesis of medium-chain length polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) in certain bacteria. It serves as a substrate for the enzyme PHA synthase, which catalyzes the formation of PHA polymers. This acid is involved in the metabolic pathway leading to the production of biodegradable polymers, which have potential applications in bioplastics and other environmentally friendly materials. At the molecular level, 10-Hydroxydecanoic acid undergoes enzymatic conversion to form PHA polymers, contributing to the synthesis of biodegradable plastics. Its mechanism of action involves serving as a building block for the production of PHA, which can be utilized in various industrial and environmental applications.
