Application

Coenzyme A sodium salt hydrate has been used:
  • in the branch chain aminotransferase enzymatic assay and protein determination
  • in the assay for halogenation of pyrrolyl-S-Bmp1 (an acyl carrier protein (ACP)-thioesterase (TE) di-domain protein) by Bmp2
  • as an extracellular coenzyme A (CoA) in in vitro and in vivo experiments to study alternative routes by which cells and organisms can obtain CoA

Biochem/physiol Actions

Coenzyme A (CoA) is a ubiquitous cofactor that plays an important role in many metabolic pathways, mainly as acyl-CoA. It is essential for the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and the synthesis and oxidation of fatty acids. CoA facilitates acyl group transfers, especially in fatty acid and lipid metabolism reactions. It is associated with neurodegeneration, autophagy, protein acetylation, and signal transduction.

Balaji Srinivasan et al.

The metabolic cofactor coenzyme A (CoA) gained renewed attention because of its roles in neurodegeneration, protein acetylation, autophagy and signal transduction. The long-standing dogma is that eukaryotic cells obtain CoA exclusively via the uptake of extracellular precursors, especially vitamin B5
Le Tran Phuc Khoa et al.
Cell stem cell, 27(3), 441-458 (2020-07-02)
Self-renewing embryonic stem cells (ESCs) respond to environmental cues by exiting pluripotency or entering a quiescent state. The molecular basis underlying this fate choice remains unclear. Here, we show that histone acetyltransferase MOF plays a critical role in this process
