Hexanoic acid (CAS 142-62-1)
QUICK LINKS
Hexanoic acid is a six-carbon linear saturated fatty acid that functions as a precursor in the biosynthesis of various lipids. It is involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism and energy production within cells. At the molecular level, hexanoic acid can interact with enzymes involved in fatty acid metabolism, such as acyl-CoA synthetase and acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, to modulate their activity. This interaction can impact the rate of fatty acid oxidation and the production of energy within cells. Hexanoic acid can also act as a signaling molecule, influencing gene expression related to lipid metabolism. Its mechanism of action involves binding to specific receptors and initiating intracellular signaling cascades that regulate lipid homeostasis. Hexanoic acid plays a functional role in lipid metabolism and energy production within cells through its interactions with key enzymes and signaling pathways.
