Malonyl coenzyme A is a coenzyme A (CoA; Item No. 16147) derivative that is used in fatty acid and polyketide synthesis and in the transport of ?-ketoglutarate across the mitochondrial membrane.{30631,30632} Malonyl-CoA is formed by acetyl-CoA carboxylase-mediated carboxylation of acetyl-CoA (Item No. 16160).{30631} Fatty acid synthase catalyzes the NADPH-dependent condensation of malonyl-CoA and acetyl-CoA to produce palmitate. Proliferating human cancer cells upregulate this fatty acid synthesis pathway as a strategy for survival. High levels of malonyl-CoA, achieved through fatty acid synthase inhibition, have been proposed to contribute to cancer cell apoptosis.{11993} Manlonyl-CoA is exclusively used as the extender unit in the synthesis of bacterial aromatic polyketides.{30632,30633}
