Today, we shine a spotlight on a selection of Coenzyme A (CoA) and its derivatives—essential biochemical tools for researchers working in metabolism, microbiome research, and disease mechanism studies.

A coenzyme is a non-protein organic molecule that binds to enzymes and assists in catalysing reactions. One of the most critical coenzymes in biology is Coenzyme A (CoA), which plays a central role in energy production and the synthesis and breakdown of fatty acids.

Coenzyme A Trilithium Salt (CAS: 18439-24-2)

This research-grade trilithium salt form of Coenzyme A is a highly stable and versatile cofactor involved in acyl group transfer, energy metabolism, and a wide range of enzymatic reactions.

Acetyl Coenzyme A Trisodium Salt (CAS: 102029-73-2)

This biologically active acetyl donor plays a key role in metabolic pathways such as the TCA cycle, fatty acid biosynthesis, and acetylation reactions. Supplied as a trisodium salt for enhanced solubility.

ApplicationsIdeal for Research In
  • Enzyme activity assays 
  • Metabolic pathway analysis 
  • Epigenetics
  • Studies involving acetyltransferases and CoA-dependent enzymes

 

4’-phosphopantetheine (CAS: 2226-71-3)

A bifunctional metabolite, 4’-Phosphopantetheine, is both a precursor in CoA biosynthesis and a prosthetic group donor for activating carrier proteins. It plays a pivotal role in converting apo-ACP and PCP proteins into their active holo-forms, enabling fatty acid and polyketide synthesis.

Key benefits of Coenzyme A DerivativesIdeal for Research In
