Common Name1-Decanol
DescriptionDecyl alcohol, also known as 1-decanol, n-decanol or capric alcohol is a straight chain fatty alcohol with ten carbon atoms and the molecular formula CH3(CH2)9OH. Decyl alcohol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty alcohols. These are aliphatic alcohols consisting of a chain of at least six carbon atoms. Decyl alcohol exists as a clear, colorless liquid that is insoluble in water and has a strong fatty, waxy, orange or sweet odour. Decyl alcohol is a fatty, waxy, green or citrus tasting compound. Decyl alcohol exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. Decyl alcohol is found in a few different foods, such as apples, grapefruit oil, lemon oil, limes, mandarin oranges, other “small” oranges (clementine, tangerine), and common oregano. Decyl alcohol has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as white mustards, pear, tomato, asparagus, corianders, and wine. Industrially, Decyl alcohol is used in the manufacture of plasticizers, lubricants, surfactants and solvents. Its ability to permeate the skin has led to it being investigated as a penetration enhancer for transdermal drug delivery. 1-Decanol or Decyl alcohol is rapidly and readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and extensively metabolised to decanoic acid, which may occur naturally in humans. 1-Decanol has low acute toxicity by the oral, dermal and inhalation routes. It has no genotoxic, carcinogenic or neurotoxic potential. 1-Decanol is also found in cannabis smoke and is formed during the combustion of cannabis ( Ref:DOI ).

1-acyl-glycerone 3-phosphate + a long-chain alcohol = an alkyl-glycerone 3-phosphate + a long-chain acid anion
Gene Name:
AGPS
Uniprot ID:
O00116
Molecular weight:
72911.2
General function:
Involved in catalytic activity
Specific function:
Catalyzes the reduction of saturated fatty acyl-CoA with chain length C16 or C18 to fatty alcohols.
Gene Name:
FAR1
Uniprot ID:
Q8WVX9
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.
