“On the KEGG website, the KEGG ID for Triacylglycerol is listed as C00422. However, when I enter this KEGG ID in MetaboAnalyst, it appears as “Ginsenoside Rf” instead. I also tried searching for “Triradylglycerol,” “Triacylglycerol,” and “Triglyceride” by compound name, but none of these yielded the KEGG ID I was looking for.Could you please confirm the correct KEGG ID for Triacylglycerol in MetaboAnalyst?”
HMDB treats triacylglycerols as a family of compounds (multiple TG compounds with different HMDB IDs linked to the same KEGG ID) - see the records below for those matched to C00422. For KEGG pathway analysis, we will create a new compound entry named “Triacylglycerol” in accordance with KEGG.
