Lauroyl Coenzyme A, Lithium salt

Lauroyl coenzyme A lithium salt, a stable derivative of coenzyme A, is used in biochemical research to study lipid metabolism, enzyme kinetics, and fatty acid transport. It serves as a substrate in assays for CoA-dependent enzymes, such as testing the functionality of DRL1 protein and analyzing the reaction of lauric acid with firefly luciferase. Lauroyl-CoA lithium salt plays a critical role in lipid biosynthesis, activation, and degradation, enhancing our understanding of energy production and lipid storage in cells (Jones et al., 2006; Xu et al., 2020).
