Description

2-Chlorooctanoyl-Coenzyme A is a specialized biochemical reagent featuring a chlorinated fatty acyl chain conjugated to the coenzyme A carrier. This compound matters as a critical tool compound for researchers studying fatty acid metabolism, enzyme kinetics, and the mechanisms of acyl-CoA synthetases and transferases. It is primarily needed by scientists and manufacturers in the fields of biochemical research, pharmaceutical development, and enzymology for use as a substrate or inhibitor in metabolic pathway studies.

Application

• Enzymology Research: Used as a substrate or mechanistic probe for studying acyl-CoA synthetases, thioesterases, and acyltransferases.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: Employed in in vitro assays to investigate β-oxidation and other fatty acid metabolic processes.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a key intermediate or tool for screening and developing inhibitors targeting lipid metabolism enzymes.
• Biochemical Synthesis: Acts as a building block for the enzymatic or chemical synthesis of more complex, labeled, or modified Coenzyme A derivatives.
• Academic Research: Utilized in university and institutional labs for fundamental research into lipid biochemistry and enzyme function.
