Description
Cyclohexanoyl coenzyme A (CHCoA) is an acyl CoA that contains a cyclohexane group. It is the activated form of cyclohexane carboxylic acid (CHC) in R. palustris. CHC is converted to CHCoA by a succinyl-CoA CHC CoA transferase, and CHCoA is then degraded by a dehydrogenase. CHCoA is converted to hippuric acid in submitochondrial fractions isolated from guinea pig liver
