Tetradecanoyl-CoA , also known as myristoyl-CoA or N-C14:0CoA, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as long-chain fatty acyl coas. These are acyl CoAs where the group acylated to the coenzyme A moiety is a long aliphatic chain of 13 to 21 carbon atoms. Tetradecanoyl-CoA is possibly soluble (in water) and a strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Tetradecanoyl-CoA exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Tetradecanoyl-CoA participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Tetradecanoyl-CoA and glycerol 3-phosphate can be converted into lpa(14:0/0:0) through the action of the enzyme glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase. In addition, Lpa(14:0/0:0) and tetradecanoyl-CoA can be converted into PA(14:0/14:0) through its interaction with the enzyme 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase. In cattle, tetradecanoyl-CoA is involved in the metabolic pathway called de novo triacylglycerol biosynthesis TG(14:0/14:0/14:0) pathway.
