Coenzyme A - List of Coenzyme A-activated Acyl Groups

List of Coenzyme A-activated Acyl Groups

  • Acetyl-CoA
  • Propionyl-CoA
  • Acetoacetyl-CoA
  • Coumaroyl-CoA (used in flavonoid and stilbenoid biosynthesis)
  • Acyl derived from dicarboxylic acids
    • Malonyl-CoA
    • Succinyl-CoA (used in heme biosynthesis)
    • Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA (used in isoprenoid biosynthesis)
    • Pimelyl-CoA (used in biotin biosynthesis)
    • fatty acyl-CoA (activated form of all fatty acids; only the CoA esters are substrates for important reactions such as mono-, di-, and triacylglycerol synthesis, carnitine palmitoyl transferase, and cholesterol esterification)

Famous quotes containing the words list and/or groups:

    My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.
    Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)

    Instead of seeing society as a collection of clearly defined “interest groups,” society must be reconceptualized as a complex network of groups of interacting individuals whose membership and communication patterns are seldom confined to one such group alone.
    Diana Crane (b. 1933)
