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.

Elongation of long-chain fatty acids was investigated in yeast mutants lacking endogenous de novo fatty acid synthesis. In this background, in vitro fatty acid elongation was dependent strictly on the substrates malonyl-CoA, NADPH and a medium-chain or long-chain acyl-CoA primer

Acyl-CoA thioesterases catalyse the hydrolysis of the thioester bonds present within a wide range of acyl-CoA substrates, releasing free CoASH and the corresponding fatty-acyl conjugate. The TesB-type thioesterases are members of the TE4 thioesterase family, one of 25 thioesterase enzyme
