Produit de la glycolyse anaérobie qui, par la suite, est oxydé en gaz carbonique (CO2) dans le cycle de Krebs, [et qui constitue un] important intermédiaire du métabolisme des glucides, des lipides et des protéines. 3, record 1, French, - ac%C3%A9tylcoenzyme%20A

Le coenzyme A sert de pourvoyeur en acides carboxyliques. La liaison des acides au coenzyme A facilite le transfert vers d'autres groupements. La conjugaison à l'acétate pour former l'acétate actif (acétyl CoA), avec une liaison à haute énergie, joue un rôle très important. Ce précurseur du cholestérol constitue un élément régulateur du système hormonal stéroïdien. 4, record 1, French, - ac%C3%A9tylcoenzyme%20A
