Acetyl CoA is a central molecule of metabolism. It carries acetate, used in the build-up and breakdown of larger molecules. Acetyl CoA is key in synthetic pathways leading to sesquiterpenes, precursors to cholesterol and other sterols, flavenoids and other polyketides, polyenes and long-chain fatty acids. It is the source of the acetyl group used in histone acetylation. The acetyl group is also incorporated into a variety of other molecules such as acetylcholine, melatonin, heme and TCA cycle intermediates.

Acetyl-CoA BioAssay™ Kit is a highly sensitive assay for determining Acetyl CoA levels in a variety of biological samples. In the assay, free CoA is quenched then Acetyl CoA is converted to CoA. The CoA is reacted to form NADH which interacts with PicoProbe® to generate fluorescence (Ex/Em=535/587nm).

The assay can detect 10 to 1000pmol of Acetyl CoA (with detection limit ~0.4uM) in a variety of samples.
