Description

(9Z-Octadecenoyl) Coenzyme A (Ammonium Salt) is a high-purity, enzymatically active derivative of oleic acid, essential for studying lipid metabolism and enzyme function. This critical biochemical reagent serves as a specific substrate for acyl-CoA synthetases, desaturases, and transferases in metabolic pathway research. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in pharmaceutical development, metabolic disease research, and biotechnology for in vitro assays and mechanistic studies.

Application

• Enzymology Research: As a defined substrate for studying the kinetics and specificity of enzymes like acyl-CoA dehydrogenases, thioesterases, and carnitine palmitoyltransferases.
• Lipid Metabolism Studies: Investigating β-oxidation pathways, fatty acid elongation, and desaturation processes within cellular and mitochondrial models.
• Drug Discovery & Screening: Used in high-throughput assays to identify and characterize novel inhibitors or activators targeting metabolic enzymes for therapeutic intervention.
• Biochemical Synthesis: Acting as an activated fatty acyl donor for the enzymatic synthesis of complex lipids, surfactants, or other specialized biochemical compounds.
• Diagnostic Kit Development: A key component in the formulation of clinical diagnostic kits for measuring specific enzyme activities related to metabolic disorders.
