High-Yield Explanation
Pantothenic acid has a central role in acyl group metabolism when acting as the pantetheine functional moiety of coenzyme A or acyl carrier protein (ACP). The pantetheine moiety is formed after combination of pantothenate with cysteine, which provides the -SH prosthetic group of CoA and ACP. CoA takes pa in reactions of the citric acid cycle, fatty acid oxidation, acetylations, and cholesterol synthesis. Ref: Bender D.A. (2011). Chapter 44. Micronutrients: Vitamins & Minerals. In D.A.
