- Acetyl-CoA C-acetyltransferase
In
enzymology , an acetyl-CoA C-acetyltransferase (EC number|2.3.1.9) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :2 acetyl-CoA ightleftharpoons CoA + acetoacetyl-CoA
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate,
acetyl-CoA , and two products, CoA andacetoacetyl-CoA .This enzyme belongs to the family of
transferase s, specifically thoseacyltransferase s transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acetyl-CoA:acetyl-CoA C-acetyltransferase. Other names in common use include acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase, beta-acetoacetyl coenzyme A thiolase, 2-methylacetoacetyl-CoA thiolase [misleading] , 3-oxothiolase, acetyl coenzyme A thiolase, acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase, acetyl-CoA:N-acetyltransferase, and thiolase II. This enzyme participates in 10 metabolic pathways:fatty acid metabolism ,synthesis and degradation of ketone bodies ,valine, leucine and isoleucine degradation ,lysine degradation ,tryptophan metabolism ,pyruvate metabolism ,benzoate degradation via coa ligation ,propanoate metabolism ,butanoate metabolism , andtwo-component system - general .tructural studies
