General description

Acetyl-Coenzyme A, trilithium salt

Application

Acetyl-Coenzyme A is used to assay CAT enzyme activity in cell extracts using radioisotopes. CAT enzyme activity in cell extracts catalyzes the transfer of acetyl groups from acetylcoenzyme A to chloramphenicol. A number of assays have been developed to measure CAT activity in cell extracts. Acetyl-Coenzyme A has also been used to determine citrate synthase activity.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Acetyl-Coenzyme A (Ac-CoA) is the end product of glycolysis and takes part in the Ac-CoA pathway, which is a metabolic pathway for carbon compounds. Ac-CoA is important in cholesterol synthesis. It also takes part in fatty acid biosynthesis and catabolism of polyamines like spermine and spermidine. A low level of Ac-CoA leads to a loss in glial cell and neuronal function. Ketone bodies and triglycerides give rise to Ac-CoA on hydrolysis and this indirectly leads to increased histone acetylation.

Preparation Note

Working solution: Optimal solvent: water or aqueous solution with a weak acidic pH (4 to 5).
Storage conditions (working solution): -15 to -25 °C
50 mg/ml in phosphate buffer, pH 7, is stable for 3 weeks at -15 to -25 °C. Unfrozen solutions should be immediately used.

Other Notes

For life science research only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Several pathologic conditions are known to cause thiamine deficiency, which induce energy shortages in all tissues, due to impairment of pyruvate decarboxylation. Brain is particularly susceptible to these conditions due to its high rate of glucose to pyruvate-driven energy metabolism.
