Coenzyme A, Lithium salt
CAS No.: 18439-24-2
Synonym(s): CoA trilithium salt
Coenzyme A is an essential metabolic cofactor for all living organisms, involved in over 100 metabolic reactions, such as fatty acid metabolism, pyruvate oxidation through the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and the production of secondary metabolites. It plays a crucial role in the mechanisms of a wide variety of enzymes. CoA facilitates the removal of lipid peroxides by increasing the mobilization of fatty acids and promotes the repair of plasma membranes by activating phospholipid synthesis (Leonardi et al., 2005; Sibon & Strauss, 2016).
Applications
Coenzyme A Lithium Salt is widely utilized in biochemical and clinical research due to its involvement in key metabolic pathways and its ability to support cellular functions. It is used to study enzyme activities, particularly those involved in lipid metabolism and cellular detoxification processes. In addition, Coenzyme A Lithium Salt is valuable for investigating mechanisms of membrane repair and stabilization, making it useful in research focused on conditions related to oxidative stress and metabolic disorders (Leonardi et al., 2005; Spry et al., 2008).
