Succinyl coenzyme A sodium salt
Succinyl coenzyme A sodium salt (CAS: 108347-97-3) is a vital biochemical intermediate with the molecular formula C25H40N7O19P3S and a molecular weight of 867.61. It plays a crucial role in the citric acid cycle and is involved in heme synthesis and ketone body oxidation. This compound serves as a substrate in enzymatic studies, particularly for investigating acyl transferases and 5-aminolevulinate synthase.

Citric Acid Cycle Intermediate
Succinyl CoA is an essential intermediate in the Krebs cycle, formed from the decarboxylation of alpha-ketoglutarate. It is fundamental to cellular energy production.
Heme Biosynthesis Precursor
This compound is a key precursor in the synthesis of heme, the prosthetic group of haemoglobin and cytochromes, playing a role in oxygen transport and electron transfer.
Fatty Acid Metabolism
Succinyl CoA is generated during the beta-oxidation of odd-chain fatty acids and is also required for the oxidation of ketone bodies, linking lipid metabolism to central energy pathways.
Enzyme Activity Studies
It serves as a valuable substrate for biochemical research, enabling the study of enzyme kinetics and specificity, such as that of acetate:succinate CoA-transferase and 5-aminolevulinate synthase.

| Application | Succinyl CoA is an intermediate in the citric acid cycle. It is formed by α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase decarboxylation of α-ketoglutarate. Succinyl CoA is also formed from propionyl CoA during the β-oxidation of odd-chain fatty acids. Succinyl CoA serves as a precursor in heme synthesis. It is also required for the oxidation of ketone bodies. Succinyl CoA is used as a substrate to study the specificity and kinetics of enzymes such as acetate:succinate CoA-transferase and 5-aminolevulinate synthase (ALA synthase). |
