2-Butenoyl coenzyme A lithium
0 Images2-Butenoyl coenzyme A lithium is an inactivator and a substrate of Plasmodium falciparum enoyl-β-hydroxyacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) reductase and other enoyl-CoA reductases, and it is also the lithium salt of trans-2-methyl-2-butenoyl coenzyme A. 2-Butenoyl coenzyme A lithium acts on short-chain and medium-chain coenzyme A dehydrogenases as well as glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase, and shows no activity against wild-type isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase. 2-Butenoyl coenzyme A lithium functions as a metabolite in the L-isoleucine catabolic pathway, and can serve as a substrate in the activity assay of 3-ketothiolase. 2-Butenoyl coenzyme A lithium is applicable to research related to 3-ketothiolase deficiency.
