CoA (coenzyme A) is an essential cofactor that is emerging as a global regulator of energy metabolism. Tissue CoA levels are tightly regulated and vary in response to different conditions including nutritional state and diabetes. Recent studies reveal the ability of this cofactor to control the output of key metabolic pathways. CoA regulation is important for the maintenance of metabolic flexibility and glucose homoeostasis.
辅酶A是一种必需的辅因子,正成为能量代谢的全局调节因子。组织中的辅酶A水平受到严格调控,并会根据包括营养状态和糖尿病在内的不同条件而变化。最近的研究揭示了这种辅因子控制关键代谢途径输出的能力。辅酶A的调节对于维持代谢灵活性和葡萄糖稳态很重要。
