Methacrylyl-CoA (BioDeep_00000005214)

描述信息

Methacrylyl-CoA, also known as methacryloyl-CoA, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as organic pyrophosphates. These are organic compounds containing the pyrophosphate oxoanion, with the structure OP([O-])(=O)OP(O)([O-])=O. Thus, methacrylyl-CoA is considered to be a fatty ester lipid molecule. Methacrylyl-CoA is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Methacrylyl-CoA has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as beechnuts, hyacinth beans, devilfish, eggplants, and cupuaçus. This could make methacrylyl-CoA a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Methacrylyl-CoA is a metabolite in the valine, leucine, and isoleucine degradation pathway and highly reacts with free thiol compounds (PMID: 14684172). Cirrhosis results in a significant decrease in 3-hydroxyisobutyryl-CoA hydrolase activity, a key enzyme in the valine catabolic pathway that plays an important role in the catabolism of a potentially toxic compound, methacrylyl-CoA, formed as an intermediate in the catabolism of valine and isobutyrate (PMID: 8938168).
Methacrylyl-coenzyme a, also known as methylacrylyl-coa or 2-methylprop-2-enoyl-coa, is a member of the class of compounds known as acyl coas. Acyl coas are organic compounds containing a coenzyme A substructure linked to an acyl chain. Thus, methacrylyl-coenzyme a is considered to be a fatty ester lipid molecule. Methacrylyl-coenzyme a is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely strong acidic compound (based on its pKa). Methacrylyl-coenzyme a can be found in a number of food items such as tea leaf willow, mexican groundcherry, new zealand spinach, and parsnip, which makes methacrylyl-coenzyme a a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
