- Thioethanolamine S-acetyltransferase
In
enzymology , a thioethanolamine S-acetyltransferase (EC number|2.3.1.11) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :acetyl-CoA + 2-aminoethanethiol CoA + S-(2-aminoethyl)thioacetate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
acetyl-CoA and2-aminoethanethiol , whereas its two products are CoA andS-(2-aminoethyl)thioacetate .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:2-aminoethanethiol S-acetyltransferase. Other names in common use include thioltransacetylase B, thioethanolamine acetyltransferase, and acetyl-CoA:thioethanolamine S-acetyltransferase.References
