Metabolite Identification
Common NameTridecanoic acid
DescriptionTridecanoic acid, also known as N-tridecanoate or C13:0, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as long-chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 13 and 21 carbon atoms. Tridecanoic acid exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Tridecanoic acid is a potentially toxic compound.
