Metabolite Identification
Common NameDecyl alcohol
Description1-Decanol, or decyl alcohol, is a straight chain fatty alcohol with ten carbon atoms and the molecular formula CH3(CH2)9OH. It is a colorless viscous liquid that is insoluble in water. 1-Decanol has a strong odour. Decanol is used in the manufacture of plasticizers, lubricants, surfactants and solvents. Decanol causes a high irritability to skin and eyes, when splashed into the eyes it can cause permanent damage. Also inhalation and ingestion can be harmful, it can also function as a narcotic. It is also harmful to the environment.

Uniprot ID:

Molecular weight:
59356.25
General function:
Involved in catalytic activity
Specific function:
Catalyzes the reduction of fatty acyl-CoA to fatty alcohols. The preferred substrates are C16, C18, C18:1 and C18:2 but low activity can be observed with C10-C14 substrates.
Gene Name:
FAR2
Uniprot ID:
Q96K12
Molecular weight:
59437.92
General function:
Involved in transferase activity, transferring acyl groups other than amino-acyl groups
Specific function:
Acyltransferase that predominantly esterify long chain (wax) alcohols with acyl-CoA-derived fatty acids to produce wax esters. Wax esters are enriched in sebum, suggesting that it plays a central role in lipid metabolism in skin. Has a preference for arachidyl alcohol as well as decyl alcohol, demonstrating its relatively poor activity using saturated long chain alcohols (C16, C18, and C20).

Uniprot ID:
Q58HT5
Molecular weight:

General function:
Involved in transferase activity, transferring acyl groups other than amino-acyl groups
Specific function:
Acyltransferase that predominantly esterify long chain (wax) alcohols with acyl-CoA-derived fatty acids to produce wax esters. Wax esters are enriched in sebum, suggesting that it plays a central role in lipid metabolism in skin. Has no activity using decyl alcohol and significantly prefers the C16 and C18 alcohols. May also have 2-acylglycerol O-acyltransferase (MGAT) and acyl-CoA:retinol acyltransferase (ARAT) activities, to catalyze the synthesis of diacylglycerols and retinyl esters; however this activity is unclear in vivo.
