Malonyl Coenzyme A lithium

Malonyl Coenzyme A (lithium) is a coenzyme A derivative that is utilized in fatty acid and polyketide synthesis and in the transport of α-ketoglutarate across the mitochondrial membrane. Malonyl Coenzyme A (lithium) is formed by the Acetyl CoA Carboxylase-mediated carboxylation of acetyl CoA. Malonyl Coenzyme A (lithium) is exclusively used as the extender unit in the synthesis of bacterial aromatic polyketides.
