Acetyl Coenzyme A (Acetyl CoA) Definition:
A combination of acetic acid and coenzyme A that is energy rich; it is produced by many catabolic pathways and is the substrate for the tricarboxylic acid cycle, fatty acid biosynthesis, and other pathways.

Acetyl Coenzyme A (Acetyl CoA) Notes:
Acetyl-CoA is a combination of coenzyme A and acetic acid. Acetyl-CoA is manufactured by several catabolic pathways and is the substrate for fatty acid biosynthesis, TCA and a few other pathways. The main function of acetyl-CoA is to transfer the acetyl group to the Krebs cycle to oxidize it for the production of energy.
