Acyl coenzyme A synthetase - CAS 9013-18-7

Acyl coenzyme A synthetase (ACS), also known as acetyl coenzyme A synthetase, catalyzes the activation of fatty acids via coenzyme A through a two-step thioesterification process, forming acyl coenzyme A. It is crucial in anabolic and catabolic lipid metabolism pathways and contributes to the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle during aerobic respiration [1].
