Coenzyme A (CoA, CoASH, or HSCoA) is a coenzyme, well known for it’s role in the synthesis and oxidation of fatty acids, and the oxidation of pyruvate in the citric acid cycle. All genomes sequenced to date encode enzymes that use coenzyme A as a substrate, and around 4% of cellular enzymes use it, or a thioester form of it, as a substrate. It is used as a supplement for the hypothetical treatment of acne. The directory classifies it as a unknown/inactive API with a biotechnology source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Zeel, Aluzime, Coalip and Lucina. Its PubChem CID is 87642.
