Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is synthesized by most microorganisms and plants from pantoic acid. The vitamin is an integral part of 4lsquo;-phosphopantheine, which is a component of coenzyme A (CoA). CoA plays a key role in the metabolism of numerous compounds, especially lipids and the ultimate catabolic disposition of carbohydrates and ketogenic amino acids. About 80% of Vitamin B5 in animal tissues is in CoA form, and the rest exists mainly as phosphopanthetheine and phosphopantethenate.br /

Another essential role of pantothenic acid is its participation in the 4lsquo;-phosphopantheine moiety of acyl carrier protein (ACP), where the phosphodiester-linked prosthetic group uses the sulfhydryl terminus to exchange with malonyl-CoA to form an ACP-S malonyl thioester, which can chain elongate during fatty acid biosynthesis.br /

The Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) Microbiological Assay is a microtiter plate test kit based on a microbiological assay which measures the total pantothenic acid content in serum. The test kit contains all required reagents, e.g., standard, medium, and microtiter plate coated with a specific microorganism, sufficient for 96 determinations including standard curve. An ELISA reader is required for evaluation of the pantothenic acid content.
