GO:0006084

Synonyms

acetyl coenzyme A metabolic process
acetyl coenzyme A metabolism
acetyl-CoA metabolism

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.
