Material Notes Adenosine 5'-(Trihydrogen Diphosphate), 3'-(Dihydrogen Phosphate), P'-(3-Hydroxy-4-((3-((2-Mercaptoethyl)Amino)-3-Oxopropyl)Amino)-2,2-Di methyl-4-Oxobutyl) Ester, (R)- Coenzyme A (CoA, CoASH, or HSCoA) is a coenzyme, notable for its role in the synthesis and oxidization of fatty acids, and the oxidation of pyruvate in the citric acid cycle. It is adapted from beta-mercaptoethylamine, panthothenate and adenosine triphosphate. Acetyl-CoA is an important molecule itself. It is the precursor to HMG CoA, which is a vital component in cholesterol and ketone synthesis. Furthermore, it contributes an acetyl group to choline to produce acetylcholine, in a reaction catalysed by choline acetyltransferase. Its main task is conveying the carbon atoms within the acetyl group to the citric acid cycle to be oxidized for energy production. -- Wikipedia [HMDB]
