Metabolite Identification
Common Name13-Methylmyristic acid
Description13-Methylmyristic acid, also known as iso-C15 or 13-MTD, 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. 13-Methylmyristic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
