Bioactivity | trans-10-Heptadecenoic acid is a trans-fatty acid. trans-10-Heptadecenoic acid synthesizes polyhydroxy-chain alkanoates under the action of 2, 4-dienyl-CoA reductase and Delta3, Delta2-enyl-CoA isomerase. In the absence of 2, 4-dienyl-CoA reductase, trans-10-Heptadecenoic acid is degraded by enyl-CoA hydratase II of the multifunctional enzyme (MFE). trans-10-Heptadecenoic acid leads to massive intracellular carbon outflow through reductase dependent and direct MFE dependent pathways[1]. | |||||||||
