3-Phenylpropanoyl-Coenzyme A (sodium salt)

3-Phenylpropanoyl-coenzyme A (3-phenylpropanoyl-CoA) is a derivative of CoA (Item Nos. 16147 | 21499 | 21722) that contains the medium-chain and phenyl-substituted fatty acid 3-phenylpropanoic acid.1 It has been used as an enzymatic substrate in potential screening assays for medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency, an inborn error of fatty acid metabolism characterized by hypoketotic hypoglycemia, medium-chain dicarboxylic aciduria, and intolerance to fasting, in newborn-derived primary fibroblasts.WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
