Palmitoyl coenzyme A lithium is an acyl-CoA thioester that can be transported into the mitochondrial matrix via the carnitine shuttle system and is involved in β-oxidation. Palmitoyl coenzyme A lithium can also be used as a substrate for sphingosine biosynthesis^[1][2].

Palmitoyl coenzyme A lithium (100 μM) reversibly inhibits acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase activity from chicken hepatocytes and is competitive with citric acid and has an important role in the regulation of fatty acid synthesis in vivo^[1].
Palmitoyl coenzyme A lithium with a high levels in mitochondria reduces the entry of ADP, which leads to an increased inhibition of glutamate dehydrogenase by palmitoyl CoA^[2].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
