<dl class="inner-dl"><dt class="col-md-4 col-sm-5" id="description">Description</dt><dd class="col-md-8 col-sm-7">This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methyl-branched fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an acyl chain that has a methyl branch. Usually, they are saturated and contain only one or more methyl group. However, branches other than methyl may be present.</dd><dt class="col-md-4 col-sm-5" id="kingdom">Kingdom</dt><dd class="col-md-8 col-sm-7"><a class="classyfire-taxnode" data-content="Compounds that contain at least one carbon atom, excluding isocyanide/cyanide and their non-hydrocarbyl derivatives, thiophosgene, carbon diselenide, carbon monosulfide, carbon disulfide, carbon subsulfide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, Carbon suboxide, and dicarbon monoxide." href="http://classyfire.wishartlab.com/tax_nodes/C0000000" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Organic compounds</a></dd><dt class="col-md-4 col-sm-5" id="super-class">Super Class</dt><dd class="col-md-8 col-sm-7"><a class="classyfire-taxnode" data-content="Fatty acids and their derivatives, and substances related biosynthetically or functionally to these compounds." href="http://classyfire.wishartlab.com/tax_nodes/C0000012" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Lipids and lipid-like molecules</a></dd><dt class="col-md-4 col-sm-5" id="class">Class</dt><dd class="col-md-8 col-sm-7"><a class="classyfire-taxnode" data-content="Organic molecules synthesized by chain elongation of an acetyl-CoA primer with malonyl-CoA (or methylmalonyl-CoA) groups that might contain a cyclic functionality and/or are substituted with heteroatoms." href="http://classyfire.wishartlab.com/tax_nodes/C0003909" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Fatty Acyls</a></dd><dt class="col-md-4 col-sm-5" id="sub-class">Sub Class</dt><dd class="col-md-8 col-sm-7"><a class="classyfire-taxnode" data-content="Aliphatic monocarboxylic acids with a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic tail (with at least 4 Carbon atoms)." href="http://classyfire.wishartlab.com/tax_nodes/C0000262" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Fatty acids and conjugates</a></dd><dt class="col-md-4 col-sm-5" id="direct-parent">Direct Parent</dt><dd class="col-md-8 col-sm-7"><a class="classyfire-taxnode" data-content="Fatty acids with an acyl chain that has a methyl branch.
