4-Methylhexanoic acid (CAS 1561-11-1)
QUICK LINKS
4-Methylhexanoic acid (4-MHA) is a naturally occurring fatty acid present in various plant and animal sources. It possesses a straight-chain structure and belongs to the category of saturated fatty acids. This versatile compound is widely investigated in current scientific research for its potential applications. Similar to other saturated fatty acids, 4-Methylhexanoic acid follows a comparable mechanism of action. Upon absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, it enters the bloodstream and is subsequently distributed to tissues throughout the body. Within these tissues, 4-Methylhexanoic acid can serve as a precursor for synthesizing different fatty acids or as an energy substrate. Additionally, enzymes can break down 4-Methylhexanoic acid, and its byproducts are utilized in various metabolic processes.
