Description

Acyl-Coenzyme A Synthetase CAS NO 9013-18-7 is a critical enzyme that catalyzes the ATP-dependent formation of acyl-CoA thioesters from free fatty acids, a fundamental step in lipid metabolism. This biocatalyst is essential for driving research and development in metabolic pathways, energy production, and lipid signaling studies. It is primarily utilized by biotechnology firms, academic research institutions, and pharmaceutical companies engaged in enzymology, biochemistry, and drug discovery.

Application

• Biochemical Research & Assay Development: Used as a key reagent in enzymatic assays to study fatty acid activation, β-oxidation, and lipid biosynthesis pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Screening: Employed in high-throughput screening platforms to identify potential inhibitors or modulators for metabolic disorders.
• Diagnostic Kit Manufacturing: Integrated into diagnostic kits for the measurement of specific fatty acids or related metabolic enzyme activities.
• Enzyme Engineering & Biotechnology: Serves as a model enzyme for protein engineering studies aimed at improving stability, substrate specificity, or catalytic efficiency.
• Academic Teaching & Training: Used in university laboratories for practical demonstrations of enzyme kinetics and metabolic biochemistry principles.
