Metabolite Identification
Common Name8,11,14,17-Eicosatetraenoic acid
Description8,11,14,17-Eicosatetraenoic acid belongs to the class of organic compounds known as long-chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 13 and 21 carbon atoms. 8,11,14,17-Eicosatetraenoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. In cattle, 8,11,14,17-eicosatetraenoic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the Alpha linolenic Acid and linoleic Acid metabolism pathway.
