Description

2-Octynoyl-Coenzyme A is a specialized biochemical reagent, specifically an activated fatty acid derivative of coenzyme A. This compound serves as a critical substrate and intermediate in the study of fatty acid metabolism and enzyme kinetics, particularly for desaturases and elongases. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in pharmaceutical development, biochemical research, and metabolic pathway analysis who require high-purity, well-characterized enzyme cofactors.

Application

• Enzymology Research: As a defined substrate for studying the activity and inhibition of enzymes like fatty acid desaturases and elongases.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: Used in in vitro assays to trace and quantify metabolic flux in fatty acid synthesis and modification pathways.
• Drug Discovery & Screening: Employed in high-throughput screening (HTS) platforms to identify potential therapeutics targeting lipid metabolism disorders.
• Biochemical Standard: Serves as a reference standard for the calibration of analytical instruments (HPLC, LC-MS) in lipidomics.
• Academic Research: A key tool for universities and research institutes investigating the molecular mechanisms of lipid-related diseases.
• Diagnostic Kit Development: Used in the formulation of diagnostic assays for enzymes involved in fatty acid metabolism.
