(3R)-3-Hydroxyoctanoic acid

CAS: 44987-72-6

(3R)-3-Hydroxyoctanoic acid is a fatty acid that is produced in the cytoplasm from acetyl-CoA. This chemical can be synthesized by immobilizing acyl-CoA synthase on a surface, which has been shown to increase its activity and extend the duration of its action. This immobilization technique has been used for the production of monomers, which are then polymerized to form polyesters with high molecular weight. (3R)-3-Hydroxyoctanoic acid is also involved in the biosynthesis of phospholipids, glycerophospholipids, and sphingolipids. The biochemical properties of this molecule have been studied using in vitro assays.
