Acetoacetyl Coenzyme A, Sodium salt

Acetoacetyl coenzyme A (Acetoacetyl-CoA) serves as a substrate for enzymes like acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase, playing a key role in acetyl-CoA production and the mevalonate pathway for terpenoid biosynthesis. It is also involved in the biosynthesis of nonactin and serves as a precursor for poly-β-hydroxybutyrate polymers in microorganisms (Rohmer et al., 1993; Khosravi-Darani et al., 2013).
