Myristoyl CoenzyMe A (aMMoniuM salt)

Uses

14:0 Coenzyme A may be used as a standard in quantitative ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method for simultaneous analysis of tissue long-chain acyl-CoA (LCACoA) concentration.

Biological Activity

14:0 Coenzyme A is an important lipid metabolite. It acts as a N-myristoyltransferase substrate during myristoylation. Myristoylation is a protein lipid modification involving the addition of myristoyl group to proteins either during translation to modify protein activity or post-translationally in apoptotic cells.
