Myristoyl coenzyme A triammonium  (Synonyms: 14:0 Coenzyme A triammonium; S-Tetradecanoate-CoA triammonium; S-Tetradecanoate-coenzyme A triammonium)

Myristoyl coenzyme A triammonium (14:0 Coenzyme A) is a myristoylated coenzyme A (CoA). Myristoylation is an essential process in viruses and is generally controlled by N-myristoyltransferase (NMT). And NMT is more active in colon epithelial tumors than in normal cells. Reduced Ccoenzyme A (CoA) is known to be a key regulator of NMT activity, whereas oxidized CoA does not allow NMT to promote myristoylation. Myristoyl coenzyme A blocks the demyristoylation process and has potential anticancer and antiviral mechanisms^[1].
