Product Overview
Description:
Palmitoyl-CoA is a critical high-energy metabolic derivative of CoA conjugated to the saturated 16-carbon palmitic acid chain, serving as a principal acyl donor substrate for palmitoyltransferases during cellular protein palmitoylation to drive membrane anchoring and target proteins into lipid rafts. Additionally, this thioester functions as a vital building block in the de novo biosynthesis of complex sphingolipids, binds with extreme affinity to cytosolic acyl-CoA-binding protein (ACBP) with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 0.45 pM, and undergoes targeted mitochondrial beta-oxidation for cellular energy production.
