Acetyl-CoA
A coenzyme derivative in the metabolism of glucose and fatty acids that contributes substrates to the Krebs cycle. Acetyl CoA provides the acetyl for multiple biochemical reactions and plays a key role in intermediary metabolism—synthesis, catabolism, or use of nutrients for energy production and growth.acetyl-CoA
Acetylcoenzyme A Metabolism A coenzyme derivative in the metabolism of glucose and fatty acids that contributes substrates to the Krebs cycle; acetyl CoA provides the acetyl unit for multiple biochemical reactions and plays a central role in intermediary metabolism–synthesis, catabolism, or use of nutrients for energy production and growth. See Citric acid cycle.a·ce·tyl-CoA
(as'ĕ-til)Condensation product of coenzyme A and acetic acid, symbolized as CoAS∼COCH3; intermediate in transfer of two-carbon fragment, notably in its entrance into the tricarboxylic acid cycle and in fatty acid synthesis.
