UNSPSC Description

Acetyl coenzyme A (Standard) is the analytical standard of Acetyl coenzyme A. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Acetyl-coenzyme A (Acetyl-CoA) is a membrane-impermeant central metabolic intermediate, participates in the TCA cycle and oxidative phosphorylation metabolism. Acetyl-coenzyme A, regulates various cellular mechanisms by providing (sole donor) acetyl groups to target amino acid residues for post-translational acetylation reactions of proteins. Acetyl Coenzyme A is also a key precursor of lipid synthesis[1][2][3][4].
