Coenzyme ()

Coenzyme Overview

The entry "Cellular metabolism enhancement via coenzyme role in carbohydrate metabolism" does **not** refer to a specific molecular target such as an enzyme, receptor, transporter, or gene product. Instead, it describes the general function of **coenzymes**—a class of small organic molecules that act as essential cofactors for enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism and other biochemical pathways. Coenzymes are often derived from vitamins (such as B vitamins) and participate transiently or permanently with enzymes to facilitate chemical transformations necessary for energy production and biosynthesis. Examples include NAD⁺/NADH, FAD/FADH₂, ATP/ADP/AMP, thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), lipoic acid, biotin, and coenzyme A[1][3][4]. These molecules are crucial for processes like glycolysis and the citric acid cycle but are not themselves considered therapeutic targets; rather they enable the activity of true targets such as metabolic enzymes. Because this entry refers broadly to a functional class rather than a single defined molecule or protein target—and because it is phrased more like a process than an entity—it is considered **incorrect** under standard conventions for molecular drug targets. If you need structured information on specific coenzymes relevant to carbohydrate metabolism—such as "Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide" (NAD⁺), "Coenzyme A", or "Thiamine pyrophosphate"—please specify which one so detailed data can be provided accordingly[2][3][4].
