Description | hexadecanoyl-CoA belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hexoses. These are monosaccharides in which the sugar unit is a is a six-carbon containing moeity. Thus, hexadecanoyl-CoA is considered to be a fatty ester lipid molecule. hexadecanoyl-CoA is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Outside of the human body, hexadecanoyl-CoA has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as hedge mustards, swedes, nances, pak choy, and sacred lotus. This could make hexadecanoyl-CoA a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Palmityl-CoA is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it. |
