Iupacname3′-O-Phosphonoadenosine 5′-{(3R)-3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-4-[(3-{[2-(octanoylsulfanyl)ethyl]amino}-3-oxopropyl)amino]-4-oxobutyl dihydrogen diphosphate}
SystematicnameO1-{[(2R,3S,4R,5R)-5-(6-Amino-9H-purin-9-yl)-4-hydroxy-3-(phosphonooxy)oxolan-2-yl]methyl} O3-{(3R)-3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-4-[(3-{[2-(octanoylsulfanyl)ethyl]amino}-3-oxopropyl)amino]-4-oxobutyl} dihydrogen diphosphate

Octanoyl-coenzyme A is the endpoint of beta oxidation in peroxisomes. It is produced alongside acetyl-CoA and transferred to the mitochondria to be further oxidized into acetyl-CoA.[1]
