Type_substrate Report for: Water-insoluble medium and long chain ester
Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) are fatty acids with aliphatic tails of 6 to 12 carbons, which can form medium-chain triglycerides. Long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) are fatty acids with aliphatic tails of 13 to 21 carbonsVery long chain fatty acids. (VLCFA) are fatty acids with aliphatic tails of 22 or more carbons. All esters of MLCFA LCFA are preferezd substrate of lipases See also this moiety in type of inhibitors: Water-insoluble medium and long chain ester
