Biochem/physiol Actions

Myristoyl coenzyme A is a combination of coenzyme A and myristate. It serves as a substrate in protein myristoylation, catalyzed by the enzyme N-myristoyl transferase. Myristyolation involves the transfer of the myristoyl group to the glycine residue at the amino-terminal of the protein.

Substrates

Long chain fatty acid (C14) covalently linked to Coenzyme A. Substrate for de novo fatty acid synthesis. Fatty acylation has been shown to block G protein-associated calcium release by a direct allosteric modification of a component of the GTP-activated process.

Discover Bioactive Small Molecules for Cyclic Nucleotides

Cyclic nucleotides, including cyclic AMP (cAMP), cyclic GMP (cGMP) and cyclic ADP-ribose, have been extensively studied as second messengers of intracellular events initiated by activation of GPCRs. cAMP modifies cell function in all eukaryotic cells, principally through the activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), but also through cAMP-gated ion channels and guanine nucleotide exchange factors directly activated by cAMP.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
