The lithium salt hydrate form of octanoyl coenzyme A enhances its stability and solubility, making it useful for studying enzymes involved in fatty acid metabolism, such as acyl-CoA dehydrogenase. It serves as a valuable tool in biochemical assays to explore metabolic pathways, regulation, and energy production (Yang et al., 2008; Vockley et al., 2000).\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":53249727791469,"sku":"A-66-10MG","price":488.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 mg","offer_id":53249732837741,"sku":"A-66-25MG","price":846.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 mg","offer_id":53249732870509,"sku":"A-66-50MG","price":1238.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/53dbfa_688aceb8a68b4ff9a3317156bddc51d4_mv2.png?v=1776855585","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/octanoyl-coenzyme-a-lithium-salt-bhb21200066","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
