General Information
Term acetyl-CoA metabolic process ID (Ontology) GO:0006084 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways involving acetyl-CoA, a derivative of coenzyme A in which the sulfhydryl group is acetylated; it is a metabolite derived from several pathways (e.g. glycolysis, fatty acid oxidation, amino-acid catabolism) and is further metabolized by the tricarboxylic acid cycle. It is a key intermediate in lipid and terpenoid biosynthesis.[ ISBN:0198547684 ]
Also Known As "acetyl coenzyme A metabolic process" ; "acetyl coenzyme A metabolism" ; "acetyl-CoA metabolism"
