pantetheine

pantetheine
The condensation product of pantothenic acid and aminoethanethiol; N-pantothenyl-2-aminoethanethiol; an intermediate in biosynthesis of coenzyme A via 4′-phosphopantetheine (a phosphoryl on the terminal –CH2O group) and ATP. SYN: Lactobacillus bulgaricus factor.
- p. kinase an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of p. by ATP to p. 4′-phosphate; a step in coenzyme A biosynthesis.
- p. 4′-phosphate SYN: 4′-phosphopantetheine.
