Description

n-Decanoyl Coenzyme A (C10:0) is a medium-chain fatty acyl-CoA ester, a crucial metabolic intermediate in lipid biosynthesis and β-oxidation pathways. Its primary value lies in its role as a high-purity biochemical reagent for enzymatic research and metabolic studies. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the fields of biochemistry, pharmaceutical development, and nutritional science, where precise control over lipid metabolism is required.

Application

• Enzymology Research: Substrate for studying acyl-CoA synthetases, dehydrogenases, and other enzymes involved in fatty acid metabolism.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: Critical reagent for in vitro and cell-based studies of mitochondrial β-oxidation and lipid biosynthesis.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Used in screening assays for drug discovery targeting metabolic disorders, such as fatty acid oxidation defects.
• Diagnostic Kit Manufacturing: A key component in enzymatic assay kits for clinical diagnostics of metabolic diseases.
• Nutritional Science: Research tool for investigating the metabolism of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) and their health effects.
• Biochemical Synthesis: Precursor for the enzymatic synthesis of more complex lipids and labeled compounds for tracer studies.
