General description

Coenzyme A (CoA) is synthesized from phosphopantothenate by the action of enzyme pantothenate kinase and is the master regulator.

Application

Coenzyme A trilithium salt has been used:
  • in standard curve generation in the kinetic assay of acetyltransferase Gcn5 acylation
  • as a cofactor in JNADH and JNADPH production assay
  • in the labeling of Alexa647 (AF647) probe

Biochem/physiol Actions

Coenzyme A (CoA, CoASH, HSCoA) is a coenzyme that facilitates enzymatic acyl-group transfer reactions and supports the synthesis and oxidation of fatty acids. CoA is involved in the mechanisms of a wide variety of enzymes. Acyl CoA accumulation is implicated in metabolic disorders and may indirectly lead to the pathogenesis associated with carbon-induced mitochondrial stress heart failure, diabetes and obesity.
