Category:GO:0035348 ! acetyl-CoA transmembrane transport

name: acetyl-CoA transmembrane transport
namespace: biological_process
def: "The process in which acetyl-CoA is transported across a membrane. Acetyl-CoA is a derivative of coenzyme A in which the sulfhydryl group is acetylated; it is a metabolite derived from several pathways (e.g. glycolysis, fatty acid oxidation, amino-acid catabolism) and is further metabolized by the tricarboxylic acid cycle. It is a key intermediate in lipid and terpenoid biosynthesis." [GO:bf]
comment: Note that this term is not intended for use in annotating lateral movement within membranes.
