- Acetyl CoA Metabolism: Pathways and Cellular Functions
Acetyl CoA is also indispensable in cholesterol synthesis, serving as a precursor for steroid hormones and bile acids The pathway begins with acetyl CoA molecules forming HMG-CoA, reduced to mevalonate by HMG-CoA reductase, a rate-limiting step Statins, cholesterol-lowering drugs, target this enzyme, highlighting the pathway’s clinical

This generates acetyl-CoA according to the following reaction scheme: CH 3 C(=O)C(=O)O – (pyruvate) + HSCoA + NAD + → CH3C(=O)SCoA (acetyl-CoA) + NADH + H + + CO 2 The product of this reaction, acetyl-CoA, is the starting point for the citric acid cycle LICENSES AND ATTRIBUTIONS CC LICENSED CONTENT, SPECIFIC ATTRIBUTION Krebs cycle
- 10. 1 Acetyl-CoA Flashcards - Quizlet
A group of three enzymes that decarboxylates pyruvate, creating an acetyl group and carbon dioxide The acetyl group is then attached to coenzyme A to produce acetyl-CoA, a substrate in the Krebs cycle In the process, NAD+ is reduced to NADH The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is the second stage of cellular respiration
- The multiple facets of acetyl-CoA metabolism: Energetics . . .
Ac-CoA cannot cross lipid bilayers, but acetyl groups from Ac-CoA can shuttle across membranes as part of carrier molecules like citrate or acetylcarnitine, or as free acetate or ketone bodies Ac-CoA is the basic unit of lipid biosynthesis, providing essentially all of the carbon for the synthesis of fatty acids and of isoprenoid-derived
- Older Than Genes: The Acetyl CoA Pathway and Origins - PMC
The reverse oxidative citric acid cycle employing citrate synthase, the roTCA cycle, requires very little ATP input (Mall et al , 2018; Nunoura et al , 2018), but it does require the hydrolysis of one ATP per acetyl CoA generated, as opposed to supporting ATP synthesis while generating acetyl CoA
- Acetyl CoA: Central Role in Cellular Metabolism and Regulation
In fatty acid synthesis, acetyl CoA serves as a starting substrate In the cytoplasm, acetyl CoA is carboxylated to form malonyl CoA through the action of acetyl-CoA carboxylase This conversion is a key step in the synthesis of long-chain fatty acids, which are vital for constructing cellular membranes and storing energy The importance of
- 6. 7: Acetyl-CoA Metabolism - Biology LibreTexts
Acetyl-CoA is one of the most “connected" metabolites in biochemistry, appearing in fatty acid oxidation reduction, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid cycle, amino acid anabolism catabolism, ketone body metabolism, steroid bile acid synthesis, and (by extension from fatty acid metabolism) prostaglandin synthesis Most of these pathways will
