The acyl group shuttle transfers fatty acyl-CoA from the cytosol to the mitochondrion in preparation for ß oxidation, separating
the mitochondrial and cytosolic pools of CoA.
Does the acetyl group shuttle also keep mitochondrial and cytosolic pools of CoA separate?
Yes, because the shuttle requires the release of one mitochondrial CoA and the input of one cytosolic CoA.
Yes, because CoA formed in the mitochondrion remains in the mitochondrion, whereas CoA formed in the cytosol
remains in the cytosol.
No, because CoA can diffuse across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
No, because there is no cytosolic pool of CoA because CoA is formed in the mitochondrion.
