D-Pantethine is a dimeric form of D-Pantothenic Acid (sodium salt, sc-278919), which acts as a precursor to Coenzyme A and acyl carrier proteins. It is known that the sulfhydryl group is the metabolically active part of the molecule. Coenzyme A is an essential cofactor in over 70 biological pathways such as fatty acid oxidation, carbohydrate metabolism, and amino acid catabolism. Studies conducted in vitro suggest that D-Pantethine inhibits the activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase, however related metabolites of the compound such as Taurine (sc-202354), D-pantetheine, Coenzyme A and D-pantothenate activate this enzyme.

Thanks for the reply! But I have one more question. There is no water content in the CoA of the standard product I have(cs-252658/F1919). Why is the test of the CoA different?

Asked by: Maeng
Thank you for your question. There was no water content test performed for sc-252658 lot F1919. This information is lot-specific. If you require this information then please inquire before placing an order. Please contact our Technical Service for further support.
