Product Overview
Description:
Palmitoyl-CoA is a critical activated thioester of CoA conjugated to a 16-carbon saturated palmitic acid chain, acting as the essential metabolic substrate for palmitoyltransferases during protein palmitoylation to facilitate lipid-bilayer membrane anchoring and target proteins to functional lipid rafts. Furthermore, it operates as a core upstream substrate in the de novo biosynthesis of complex sphingolipids, binds with high affinity to intracellular acyl-CoA-binding protein (ACBP), and targets mitochondrial beta-oxidation pathways for cellular bioenergetics.
Synonyms:
S-Hexadecanoate, coenzyme A; Hexadecanoyl-CoA; Palmitoyl-Coenzyme A, sodium salt
