Acetoacetyl-CoA
Acetoacetyl CoA serves as a precursor to HMG-CoA in the mevalonate pathway. Catalyzed by acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase, it is formed from two acetyl-CoA molecules. Acetoacetyl CoA is vital for cholesterol biosynthesis and also acts as an intermediate in both the breakdown and synthesis of fatty acids.
