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)

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.
