3-oxo Stearic acid is an intermediate in the dissociated (or type II) fatty acid biosynthesis that occurs in bacteria and plants.1 This β-keto fatty acid is generated following the reaction of hexadecenoyl-acyl-carrier-protein (ACP) with malonyl-ACP by the enzyme β-ketoacyl-ACP synthase II, which produces 3-oxo octadecenoyl-ACP.2 Removal of the ACP group by ACP hydrolase produces the free acid. | [Uses]
3-Oxooctadecanoic acid (3-Oxostearic acid) is a saturated fatty acid (SFA). 3-Oxooctadecanoic acid is an intermediate product in fatty acid biosynthesis and it was converted from malonic acid via the enzyme[1]. | [Definition]
ChEBI: 3-oxooctadecanoic acid is a 3-oxo fatty acid derived from stearic acid. It is functionally related to an octadecanoic acid. | [References]
