Application

Coenzyme A functions as an acyl group carrier, acetyl-CoA. Oleoyl coenzyme A (Oleoyl-CoA) may be used to study the specificity and kinetics of enzymes such as acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase 1 (ACAT1) involved in long chain fatty acid cholesterol esterification.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Oleoyl-CoA is an important substrate, that is essential for the biosynthesis of 1-Alkyl-2,3-diacylglycerol (ADG) and very long chain monounsaturated fatty acids of harderian gland (HG) 1-alkyl-2,3-diacylglycerol.

The enzymes acyl-coenzyme A (CoA):cholesterol acyltransferases (ACATs) are membrane-bound proteins that utilize long-chain fatty acyl-CoA and cholesterol as substrates to form cholesteryl esters. In mammals, two isoenzymes, ACAT1 and ACAT2, encoded by two different genes, exist. ACATs play important roles

Metabolism in trypanosomatids is compartmentalised with major pathways, notably glycolysis, present in peroxisome-like organelles called glycosomes. To date, little information is available about the transport of metabolites through the glycosomal membrane. Previously, three ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, called GAT1-3 for

Acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase 1 (ACAT1) is a membrane-bound enzyme utilizing long-chain fatty acyl-coenzyme A and cholesterol to form cholesteryl esters and coenzyme A. Previously, we had expressed tagged human ACAT1 (hACAT1) in CHO cells and purified it to homogeneity; however
