Octanoyl Coenzyme A Lithium（Cat No.:I042940）is a medium-chain fatty acyl-CoA derivative involved in fatty acid metabolism, energy production, and lipid biosynthesis. It serves as a crucial substrate in β-oxidation, where it is broken down in mitochondria to generate ATP. Octanoyl-CoA also plays a role in protein lipidation, including octanoylation of ghrelin, which is essential for its biological activity in appetite regulation. The lithium salt form enhances its solubility and stability, making it a useful reagent for biochemical, metabolic, and enzymatic studies in areas such as mitochondrial function, metabolic disorders, and energy homeostasis.
