ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionMethyl dodecanoate is found in alcoholic beverages. Methyl dodecanoate is found in concord grape (Vitis labrusca), melon, pineapple, heated blackberry, red chilli (Capsicum frutescens) and other fruits. Also present in cheeses, hop oil, white wine, spirits and other foodstuffs. Methyl dodecanoate is a flavouring agent. Methyl dodecanoate belongs to the family of Fatty Acid Esters. These are carboxylic ester derivatives of a fatty acid.

Targets

General Function:
Zinc ion binding
Specific Function:
Ligand-activated transcription factor. Receptor for bile acids such as chenodeoxycholic acid, lithocholic acid and deoxycholic acid. Represses the transcription of the cholesterol 7-alpha-hydroxylase gene (CYP7A1) through the induction of NR0B2 or FGF19 expression, via two distinct mechanisms. Activates the intestinal bile acid-binding protein (IBABP). Activates the transcription of bile salt export pump ABCB11 by directly recruiting histone methyltransferase CARM1 to this locus.
