Pentanoyl coenzyme A  (Synonyms: Valeryl-CoA; Valeryl-coenzyme A; Pentanoyl coenzyme A free acid)

Pentanoyl coenzyme A (Valeryl-CoA) is a short-chain fatty acyl-CoA that functions as an intermediate in mitochondrial β-oxidation and related metabolic pathways. Pentanoyl coenzyme A results from the formal condensation of the thiol group of coenzyme A with the carboxy group of pentanoic acid. Pentanoyl coenzyme A's levels can reflect changes in lipid metabolism under different physiological and pathological conditions. Pentanoyl coenzyme A can be used for research on lipid metabolism^[1].

Pentanoyl Coenzyme A is significantly increased in both C57BL/6 J-Apc ^Min/+ /J (B6 Apc ^Min/+) mice fed with or without high fat diet^[1].
