Metabolite Identification
Common NameHeneicosanoic acid
DescriptionHeneicosanoic acid, also known as N-heneicosanoate or 21:0, 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. Heneicosanoic acid exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Heneicosanoic acid is a potentially toxic compound.
