Butyryl Coenzyme A (sodium salt)

Butyryl-coenzyme A (butyryl-CoA) is a short-chain acyl CoA. It is an intermediate in the synthesis of butyrate, which is produced by colonic bacteria and is important for maintaining the colonic environment.¹

Butyryl-Coenzyme A (Butyryl CoA) sodium is a coenzyme A-containing derivative of Butyric acid. Butyryl-Coenzyme A sodium is responsible for the final step of Butyrate production in bacteria[1].
