Acetyl-CoA - Wikipedia
Acetyl-CoA (acetyl coenzyme A) is a molecule that participates in many biochemical reactions in protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. [2] Its main function is to deliver the acetyl group to the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) to be oxidized for energy production.
Acetyl-CoA - The Definitive Guide - Biology Dictionary
2020年7月9日 · Acetyl-CoA structure is composed of a transporting coenzyme group and an attached acetyl group. A coenzyme assists an enzyme in the breakdown of a range of biological molecules. Acetyl groups contain two carbon units and have the chemical formula C 2 H 3 O.
Acetyl-CoA - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Acetyl-CoA is a thioester between the acyl group carrier, acetic acid and a thiol, coenzyme A. Acetyl-CoA, as a carrier of acyl groups, is an essential cofactor in the posttranslational acetylation reactions of histone and nonhistone proteins catalyzed by HATs.

Acetyl CoA | C23H38N7O17P3S | CID 6302 - PubChem
Acetyl CoA participates in the biosynthesis of fatty acids and sterols, in the oxidation of fatty acids and in the metabolism of many amino acids. It also acts as a biological acetylating agent.
Acetyl Coenzyme A: A Central Metabolite and Second Messenger
Acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) is a key substrate for anabolic reactions and the sole donor of acetyl groups for protein acetylation. In this review, Kroemer and colleagues discuss how acetyl-CoA dictates the balance between cellular catabolism and anabolism by simultaneously operating as a metabolic intermediate and a second messenger.
