Definition
(2-n,3-o-bis(3-hydroxytetradecanoyl)-4-o-phosphono-beta-d-glucosaminyl)-(1->6)-(2-n,3-o-bis(3-hydroxytetradecanoyl)-beta-d-glucosaminyl phosphate), also known as lipid iva (e. coli), is a member of the class of compounds known as acylaminosugars. Acylaminosugars are organic compounds containing a sugar linked to a chain through N-acyl group (2-n,3-o-bis(3-hydroxytetradecanoyl)-4-o-phosphono-beta-d-glucosaminyl)-(1->6)-(2-n,3-o-bis(3-hydroxytetradecanoyl)-beta-d-glucosaminyl phosphate) is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely strong acidic compound (based on its pKa). (2-n,3-o-bis(3-hydroxytetradecanoyl)-4-o-phosphono-beta-d-glucosaminyl)-(1->6)-(2-n,3-o-bis(3-hydroxytetradecanoyl)-beta-d-glucosaminyl phosphate) can be found in a number of food items such as kohlrabi, sugar apple, common chokecherry, and lovage, which makes (2-n,3-o-bis(3-hydroxytetradecanoyl)-4-o-phosphono-beta-d-glucosaminyl)-(1->6)-(2-n,3-o-bis(3-hydroxytetradecanoyl)-beta-d-glucosaminyl phosphate) a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products (2-n,3-o-bis(3-hydroxytetradecanoyl)-4-o-phosphono-beta-d-glucosaminyl)-(1->6)-(2-n,3-o-bis(3-hydroxytetradecanoyl)-beta-d-glucosaminyl phosphate) may be a unique E.coli metabolite.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acylaminosugars. These are organic compounds containing a sugar linked to a chain through N-acyl group.
