QUICK LINKS

3-Hydroxynonanoic Acid is an organic compound that is the subject of various research studies due to its role as a medium-chain hydroxy fatty acid. In biochemical research, this acid is particularly of interest in the study of lipid metabolism and fatty acid oxidation pathways. It serves as a substrate in enzymatic studies to characterize the specificity and kinetics of hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenases, which are in the breakdown and utilization of fatty acids within cells. Additionally, its presence in certain biological samples can be indicative of metabolic conditions, and thus, 3-Hydroxynonanoic Acid is also analyzed in the context of biomarker discovery. In the realm of industrial biotechnology, it may be investigated for its potential use in the synthesis of bio-based polymers and esters, leveraging its hydroxy functionality to form new materials with desirable properties.
