Analysis of mammalian fatty acyl-coenzyme A species by mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry
2011
Haynes, Christopher A.
Acyl-CoAs are intermediates of numerous metabolic processes in eukaryotic cells, including beta-oxidation within mitochondria and peroxisomes, and the biosynthesis/remodeling of lipids (e.g. mono-, di-, and triglycerides, phospholipids and sphingolipids). Investigations of lipid metabolism have been advanced by the ability to quantitate acyl-CoA intermediates via liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometric detection (LC–ESI-MS/MS), which is presently one of the most sensitive and specific analytical methods for both lipids and acyl-CoAs. This review of acyl-CoA analysis by mass spectrometry focuses on mammalian samples and long-chain analytes (i.e. palmitoyl-CoA), particularly reports of streamlined methodology, improved recovery, or expansion of the number of acyl chain-lengths amenable to quantitation. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Lipodomics and Imaging Mass Spectrometry.
