Acetyl-CoA ⟶ Acetoacetyl-CoA
Acetyl-CoA
The main function of coenzyme A is to carry acyl groups (such as the acetyl group) or thioesters. Acetyl-CoA is an important molecule itself. It is the precursor to HMG CoA, which is a vital component in cholesterol and ketone synthesis. (wikipedia). acetyl CoA participates in the biosynthesis of fatty acids and sterols, in the oxidation of fatty acids and in the metabolism of many amino acids. It also acts as a biological acetylating agent. The main function of coenzyme A is to carry acyl groups (such as the acetyl group) or thioesters. Acetyl-CoA is an important molecule itself. It is the precursor to HMG CoA, which is a vital component in cholesterol and ketone synthesis. (wikipedia)
Acetoacetyl-CoA
Acetoacetyl-CoA is an intermediate in the metabolism of Butanoate. It is a substrate for Succinyl-CoA:3-ketoacid-coenzyme A transferase 1 (mitochondrial), Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase (mitochondrial), Short chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (mitochondrial), Trifunctional enzyme beta subunit (mitochondrial), Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase (cytoplasmic), Peroxisomal bifunctional enzyme, Acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase (cytosolic), Acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase (mitochondrial), 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase type II, Succinyl-CoA:3-ketoacid-coenzyme A transferase 2 (mitochondrial), 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase (mitochondrial), 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase (peroxisomal) and Trifunctional enzyme alpha subunit (mitochondrial). [HMDB]. Acetoacetyl-CoA is found in many foods, some of which are bog bilberry, lemon balm, pineapple, and pak choy. Acetoacetyl-CoA belongs to the class of organic compounds known as aminopiperidines. Aminopiperidines are compounds containing a piperidine that carries an amino group. Acetoacetyl-CoA is a strong basic compound (based on its pKa). In humans, acetoacetyl-CoA is involved in the metabolic disorder called the short-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (HADH) pathway. Acetoacetyl-CoA is an intermediate in the metabolism of butanoate. It is a substrate for succinyl-CoA:3-ketoacid-coenzyme A transferase, hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase, short-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, peroxisomal bifunctional enzyme, acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase, and 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase.
