Valeryl Coenzyme A, Sodium salt

Valeryl-CoA is a thioester derivative of Coenzyme A involved in fatty acid metabolism. As a medium-chain acyl-CoA, it serves as an intermediate in various metabolic pathways, including the oxidation and elongation of fatty acids and the biosynthesis of complex lipids. Valeryl-CoA is also a substrate for several enzymes involved in energy production and cellular signaling. Its reactive acyl group allows it to participate in diverse biochemical reactions, playing a critical role in cellular energy homeostasis and metabolic regulation (Ellis et al., 2021; Liu et al., 2013).
