Octadecadienoic Acid n-6 trans
Definition 1
A polyunsaturated long-chain fatty acid with an 18-carbon backbone and double bonds originating from the 6th position and the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th or 13th positions from the methyl end. The bond geometry of the molecule induces a kink in the main axis of the aliphatic chain at the n-6 position. There are at least 8 different isomers that can be called by this name. (NCI Thesaurus)
Definition 2
Polyunsaturated fatty acid with 18 carbons and 2 double bonds at the 6th and 9th carbons from the methyl end. The double bond at the 6th carbon is in the trans formation. (NCI Thesaurus/CRCH)
