Metabolite Identification
Common NameGlycerol tributanoate
DescriptionGlycerol tributanoate, also known as butyrin or 1,2,3-tributyrylglycerol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as triacylglycerols. These are glycerides consisting of three fatty acid chains covalently bonded to a glycerol molecule through ester linkages. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Glycerol tributanoate.
