About the compound: | Trans-Brassidic acid is classified as a very long-chain fatty acid. It is a natural product present in Monascus purpureus. Brassidic acid is a specific type of monounsaturated very long-chain fatty acid with a 22-carbon structure, featuring a single double bond situated at the 9th position from the methyl end in a trans- configuration. It's categorized as an omega-9 fatty acid. Brassidic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid with a double bond at the 13th carbon atom, counting from the carboxylic acid end (cis-13-docosenoic acid). Its hydrophobic nature, with a hydrophilic carboxyl end, allows it to participate in lipid formation, contributing to various cellular structures and functions. |
