Progress of the acyl-Coenzyme A thioester hydrolase family in cancer [PDF]
In recent years, the acyl-Coenzyme A thioester hydrolase family (ACOTs) has received wide attention as a key link in lipid metabolism. This family is a class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of fatty acyl-Coenzyme A, disrupting the thioester bond ...

An update on the therapeutic implications of long-chain acyl-coenzyme A synthetases in nervous system diseases [PDF]
Long-chain acyl-coenzyme A synthetases (ACSLs) are a family of CoA synthetases that activate fatty acid (FA) with chain lengths of 12–20 carbon atoms by forming the acyl-AMP derivative in an isozyme-specific manner.

Anesthesia management in a patient with very long-chain acyl-Coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency [PDF]
Background In a patient with very long-chain acyl-Coenzyme A dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency, metabolism of fatty acids is impaired and a supply of alternative energy is limited when glucose level is insufficient on starvation.

Acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferases [PDF]
The enzymes acyl-coenzyme A (CoA):cholesterol acyltransferases (ACATs) are membrane-bound proteins that utilize long-chain fatty acyl-CoA and cholesterol as substrates to form cholesteryl esters. In mammals, two isoenzymes, ACAT1 and ACAT2, encoded by two different genes, exist.

A FRET sensor for the real-time detection of long chain acyl-CoAs and synthetic ABHD5 ligands
Summary: Intracellular long-chain acyl-coenzyme As (LC-acyl-CoAs) are thought to be under tight spatial and temporal controls, yet the ability to image LC-acyl-CoAs in live cells is lacking.

Acyl‐coenzyme A organizes laterally in membranes and is recognized specifically by acyl‐coenzyme A binding protein [PDF]
Long chain acyl‐coenzyme A (acyl‐CoA) is a biochemically important amphiphilic molecule that is known to partition strongly into membranes by insertion of the acyl chain. At present, microscopically resolved evidence is lacking on how acyl‐CoA influences and organizes laterally in membranes. By atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging of membranes exposed
