12-Methyltridecanal, also known as 12-MT aldehyde or isotetradecan-1-al, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty aldehydes. These are long chain aldehydes with a chain of at least 12 carbon atoms. Thus, 12-methyltridecanal is considered to be a fatty aldehyde lipid molecule. 12-Methyltridecanal is considered to be a practically insoluble (in water) and relatively neutral molecule. 12-Methyltridecanal has been primarily detected in urine. Within the cell, 12-methyltridecanal is primarily located in the membrane (predicted from logP) and cytoplasm. 12-Methyltridecanal has a broth, cooked, and cooked meat taste.
