Description

Myristoyl Coenzyme A (Ammonium Salt) is a critical biochemical reagent, specifically a long-chain fatty acyl-CoA derivative. This high-purity compound serves as an essential substrate and metabolic intermediate in lipid biosynthesis and fatty acid oxidation research. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences, pharmaceutical development, and enzymology sectors for studying metabolic pathways and enzyme kinetics.

Application

• Enzyme Kinetics & Inhibition Studies: Used as a specific substrate for studying the activity of acyl-CoA synthetases, acyltransferases, and other enzymes involved in lipid metabolism.
• Metabolic Pathway Research: A key intermediate for in vitro investigations of mitochondrial β-oxidation and fatty acid elongation cycles.
• Biochemical Assay Development: Serves as a standard or critical reagent in the development of diagnostic and research assays targeting lipid metabolic disorders.
• Pharmaceutical R&D: Employed in screening and characterizing potential drug candidates that target metabolic enzymes like fatty acid synthase (FAS) or carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT).
• Cell Signaling Studies: Used to explore the role of lipid-derived molecules, such as myristoyl-CoA, in protein acylation and cellular signaling pathways.
• Nutritional Science Research: Applied in studies examining the metabolism of dietary medium-chain fatty acids.
