- 3-ethylmalate synthase
In
enzymology , a 3-ethylmalate synthase (EC number|2.3.3.7) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :butanoyl-CoA + H2O + glyoxylate 3-ethylmalate + CoA
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are
butanoyl-CoA , H2O, andglyoxylate , whereas its two products are3-ethylmalate and CoA.This enzyme belongs to the family of
transferase s, specifically thoseacyltransferases that convert acyl groups into alkyl groups on transfer. The systematic name of this enzyme class is butanoyl-CoA:glyoxylate C-butanoyltransferase (thioester-hydrolysing, 1-carboxypropyl-forming). Other names in common use include 2-ethyl-3-hydroxybutanedioate synthase, and 3-ethylmalate glyoxylate-lyase (CoA-butanoylating). This enzyme participates inglyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism .References
