Acetoacetyl-CoA sodium hydrate

Acetoacetyl CoA sodium hydrate is a precursor of HMG-CoA in the mevalonate pathway. The enzyme acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase catalyzes the formation of acetoacetyl CoA sodium hydrate from two acetyl-CoA molecules. This compound is crucial for cholesterol biosynthesis and serves as an intermediate in both fatty acid catabolism and synthesis.
