| ln Vitro |
The activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase in chicken hepatocytes is reversibly inhibited by lithium palmitoyl-CoA (100 μM), which also competes with citric acid to regulate fatty acid synthesis in the body [1]. Elevated lithium palmitoyl-CoA levels in mitochondria inhibit ADP entry, which increases palmitoyl-CoA's inhibition of glutamate dehydrogenase [2].
In vitro, Palmitoyl coenzyme A lithium is used as a substrate in enzyme assays to study lipid metabolism and enzyme activity. It has been used for microinjecting newt eggs to study the effect of citrate synthase inhibition in egg activation. It has also been used in reaction mix for thioesterase I (tesA) enzymatic activity assays. Palmitoyl-CoA has been used in in vitro S-palmitoylation of cyclophilin D. The compound is used in cardiovascular, metabolic disease, and neurodegenerative disorder studies. |
