What is trans-Δ2-11-methyl-Dodecenoic Acid?

Description

Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes depend on small signalling molecules for cell-cell communication. trans-Δ²-11-methyl-Dodecenoic acid is the conformational isomer of cis-Δ²-11-methyl-dodecenoic acid, a diffusible signal factor (DSF) in extracellular microbial and fungal communication systems. In a DSF bioassay, the minimum concentration of cis-Δ²-11-methyl-dodecenoic acid required for induction of a DSF biosensor was about 0.5 μM, which is 200-fold lower than that of trans-Δ²-11-methyl-dodecenoic acid and 20,000-fold lower than that of the corresponding saturated fatty acid (11-methyl-dodecanoic acid).

What are the applications of Application

trans-Δ2-11-methyl-Dodecenoic Acid is a DSF in extracellular microbial and fungal communication systems

Definition

ChEBI: (E)-11-methyldodec-2-enoic acid is an alpha,beta-unsaturated monocarboxylic acid that is trans-dodec-2-enoic acid in which one of the hydrogens at position 11 has been replaced by a methyl group. It is a methyl-branched fatty acid, an alpha,beta-unsaturated monocarboxylic acid and a monounsaturated fatty acid.
