Coenzyme A is a coenzyme notable for its role in the synthesis and oxidation of fatty acids and in the oxidation of pyruvate in the citric acid cycle. It is produced biosynthetically from cysteine, pantothenate (vitamin B5), and ATP, and for commercial use is typically manufactured via fermentation or synthetic processes.
