Acetoacetyl Coenzyme A Sodium Salt Hydrate by Molecular Depot is a acetoacetyl coenzyme A sodium salt hydrate, a substrate for acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase among other enzymes. Acetoacetyl-coenzyme A is the four-carbon intermediate at the junction of ketone body metabolism, cholesterol synthesis and fatty acid breakdown, formed when two acetyl units are joined. It is used as a substrate in thiolase, HMG-CoA synthase and ketone body metabolism assays and in lipid metabolism research. Each unit contains 1 mg. MBP supplies Molecular Depot research reagents to research labs in the United States, Canada and worldwide.
