Common Name6,10,14-Trimethyl-pentadecan-2-one
Description6,10,14-trimethyl-Pentadecan-2-one, also known as hexahydrofarnesylacetone, is a member of the class of compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. Sesquiterpenoids are terpenes that contain 15 carbon atoms with three consecutive isoprene units. The biosynthesis of sesquiterpenes is known to occur mainly through the mevalonic acid pathway (MVA), in the cytosol. However, recent studies have found evidence of pathway crosstalk with the methyl-eritritol-phosphate (MEP) pathway in the plastid (PMID: 19932496 , 17710406 ). 6,10,14-trimethyl-Pentadecan-2-one is one of several ketones that are known in cannabis plants (PMID: 6991645 ). 6,10,14-trimethyl-pentadecan-2-one is a celery, fat, and herbal tasting compound and can be found in a number of food items such as sweet basil, common oregano, roselle, and wild celery.

General function:
Not Available
Specific function:
Seems to have numerous potential physiological functions. Binds to collagen, thrombospondin, anionic phospholipids and oxidized LDL. May function as a cell adhesion molecule. Directly mediates cytoadherence of Plasmodium falciparum parasitized erythrocytes. Binds long chain fatty acids and may function in the transport and/or as a regulator of fatty acid transport
