Acetyl-coenzyme A-d3 (acetyl-CoA-d3) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of acetyl-CoA (Item No. 16160) by GC- or LC-MS. Acetyl-CoA, the thioester of CoA (Item Nos. 16147 | 21499 | 21722) and acetic acid, is a pivotal molecule in biological systems. Foremost, it serves as a source of carbon for the Krebs cycle, for the synthesis of fatty acids, and for isoprenoid-based protein modifications.1,2,3,4 Acetyl-CoA also serves as an intermediate in oxidation of fatty acids and amino acids and is formed by the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate in mitochondria.5 It is an essential cofactor or substrate for acetyltransferases and acyltransferases, as in the post-translational modification of proteins and in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.2,3
