Coenzyme A is therefore an important cofactor to the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and some amino acids. Coenzyme A is often referred to as Acetyl CoA when it is transferring an acetyl group. CoA is an almost white to slightly yellow powder, soluble in water and saline, insoluble in ethanol, ether and acetone. Appearance of solution should be clear and slightly opalescent.
