Application

Palmitoyl coenzyme A lithium salt has been used for microinjecting newt egg, to study the effect of citrate synthase inhibition in egg activation. It has also been used in reaction mix for thioesterase I (tesA) enzymatic activity assay.Palmitoyl coenzyme A lithium salt has been used in in vitro S-palmitoylation of cyclophilin D.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Palmitoyl coenzyme A is useful in the biosynthesis of sphingosine, a component of sphingolipids and phospholipids.β-Oxidation of Palmitoyl-CoA yields 8 acetyl-CoA molecules and 14 pairs of hydrogen atoms.
Palmitoyl coenzyme A (CoA) is an acyl-CoA and a precursor of 3-ketodihydrosphingosine, a key element of sphingoid base backbone during the De novo sphingolipid biosynthesis. Palmitoyl CoA is a long chain fatty acid (C16) covalently linked to Coenzyme A. Covalent attachment of palmitate is a common occurrence on a wide variety of viral and cellular proteins and plays a role in promoting membrane binding. Palmitoylation may also be a general mechanism for prolonging or potentiating G-protein signaling.
