Palmitoyl-CoA
Description
PalmitoylCoA is a coenzyme A derivative of palmitate formed by acylCoA synthetase. In contrast to medium- and short-chain acylCoA, palmitoylCoA cannot briefly diffuse into mitochondrial matrix. Formation of palmitoylcarnitine by CPTI is necessary prior transfer into mitochondria for further Ξ²-oxidation.
