3-oxo Stearic Acid

3-oxo Stearic acid is an intermediate in the dissociated (or type II) fatty acid biosynthesis that occurs in bacteria and plants. This beta-keto fatty acid is generated following the reaction of hexadecenoyl-acyl-carrier-protein (ACP) with malonyl-ACP by the enzyme beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthase II, which produces 3-oxo octadecenoyl-ACP. Removal of the ACP group by ACP hydrolase produces the free acid.Formal Name: 3-oxo-octadecanoic acid. CAS Number: 16694-29-4. Synonyms: 3-oxo Octadecanoic Acid, beta-keto Stearic Acid.
