The molecule is an omega-hydroxy fatty acid ascaroside obtained by formal condensation of the alcoholic hydroxy group of (2E)-10-hydroxydec-2-enoic acid with ascarylopyranose (the alpha anomer). It is a metabolite of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. It has a role as a Caenorhabditis elegans metabolite. It is an alpha,beta-unsaturated monocarboxylic acid and an omega-hydroxy fatty acid ascaroside. It derives from an (E)-10-hydroxydec-2-enoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of an oscr#15(1-).
(E)-10-[(2R,3R,5R,6S)-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyloxan-2-yl]oxydec-2-enoic acid
