Coenzyme A functions as an acyl group carrier, acetyl-CoA. Palmitoleoyl coenzyme A (Palmitoleoyl-CoA) may be used in comparative long chain fatty acyl-CoA studies such as the effects of long-chain acyl-coenzyme A esters on cardiac K(ATP) channels and lipotoxic footprinting.
ChEBI: Palmitoleoyl-CoA is a long-chain fatty acyl-CoA that results from the formal condensation of the thiol group of coenzyme A with the carboxy group of palmitoleic acid. It is an 11,12-saturated fatty acyl-CoA and a hexadecenoyl-CoA. It is functionally related to a palmitoleic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a palmitoleoyl-CoA(4-).
