    What is coenzyme A and what does it do?

    Coenzyme A is the main carrier of activated acyl groups in cells. Its structure consists of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and a thiol (-SH) group at one end.
    As an important coenzyme, it plays a central role in metabolism.

    1. It plays an important role in many core metabolisms in the body. For example, nutrient catabolism and lipid synthesis.
      Fatty acid metabolism: It activates the synthesis and decomposition of fatty acids (β-oxidation).
      Especially the transfer of acyl groups (such as acetyl groups) in enzymatic reactions.
    2. Coenzyme A participates in the maintenance of numerous biochemical reactions.
    3. Involved in molecular synthesis. Participates in the biosynthesis of cholesterol, acetylcholine and steroid hormones.
