This compound belongs to the family of Acyl CoAs. These are organic compounds contaning a coenzyme A substructure linked to another moeity through an ester bond.

An omega-carboxyacyl-CoA that results from the formal condensation of the thiol group of coenzyme A with the least hindered carboxy group of mesaconic acid." []

Glutaconyl-CoA (CAS: 6712-05-6), also known as 4-carboxybut-2-enoyl-CoA, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 2-enoyl CoAs. These are organic compounds containing a coenzyme A substructure linked to a 2-enoyl chain. Thus, glutaconyl-CoA is considered to be a fatty ester lipid molecule. Glutaconyl-CoA is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Glutaconyl-CoA is a substrate for glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase.

Itaconyl-CoA is an intermediate metabolite in the degradation pathway of itaconic acid, an unsaturated dicarbonic organic acid. Citramalyl coenzyme A (CoA) is found to be the intermediate in the conversion of itaconyl-Co-A to acetyl-CoA and pyruvate, catalyzed by methylglutaconase. Methylglutaconase catalyzes the interconversion of itaconyl-, mesaconyl-, and citramalyl-CoA. In liver mitochondria, methylglutaconase converts itaconate to pyruvate and acetyl coenzyme A. In this metabolic process, itaconate is first activated to itaconyl-CoA by a succinate activating enzyme, and a CoA derivative is cleaved to acetyl-CoA and pyruvate. (PMID: 13783048, 11548996).
