moiety is formed after combination of pantothenate with cysteine, which provides the–SH prosthetic group of CoA and ACP. CoA takes part in reactions of the citric acid cycle, fatty acid oxidation, acetylations and cholesterol synthesis. ACP participates in fatty acid synthesis. The vitamin is widely distributed in all food-stuffs, and deficiency has not been unequivocally reported in humans except in specific depletion studies. (Murray et al. 2009)
