It is formed as an intermediate during the ?-oxidation of fatty acids and serves as a substrate for various enzymes involved in lipid metabolism and biosynthetic pathways. Butanoyl-CoA is important in the synthesis of butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that is a key energy source for colonocytes and has significant roles in maintaining gut health and modulating inflammatory responses. It also functions as an acyl donor in the elongation and degradation of fatty acids, making it a critical intermediate in cellular metabolism (Vital et al., 2017; Louis \u0026amp; Flint, 2017).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eResearch Relevance and Current Trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcyl-CoA metabolism increasingly linked to histone acylation marks and epigenetic regulation in cancer and metabolic disease research.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowing interest in short-chain fatty acid CoA thioesters as mediators of gut microbiome–host metabolic crosstalk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoA-dependent enzymes investigated as drug targets in infectious disease and neurometabolic disorder research.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Research Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnzyme kinetics assays — direct substrate for acyltransferases, thiolases, and dehydrogenases.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetabolic flux analysis — isotope-labeled variants available for stable-isotope tracing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn vitro pathway reconstitution for fatty acid β-oxidation, TCA cycle, or polyketide biosynthesis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiochemical characterization of CoA-binding proteins by activity assays or binding measurements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNotes for Experimental Interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoA thioesters hydrolyze at neutral–alkaline pH; prepare working solutions fresh and keep on ice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifferent salt forms share the same core structure — normalize concentrations using the free-acid MW when comparing across forms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThiol oxidation may occur upon air exposure; use under inert atmosphere or with reducing agents where appropriate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Coenza","offers":[{"title":"10 mg","offer_id":53249726349677,"sku":"A-23-10MG","price":363.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/53dbfa_efb4abba3a8f4c4fbf4dd11b43875915_mv2.png?v=1776855581","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/butyryl-coenzyme-a-free-acid-bhb21200013","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
