ENZYME entry: EC 2.8.3.8

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.8.3.8
Accepted Name
acetate CoA-transferase
Reaction catalysed
an acyl-CoA + acetate = a carboxylate + acetyl-CoA
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme belongs to family I of CoA-transferases, which operate with a ping-pong kinetic mechanism.
  • The reaction takes place in two half-reactions and involves the formation of a CoA thioester intermediate with a glutamate residue.
  • Unlike EC 2.8.3.9, this enzyme exhibits maximal activity using acetate as the CoA acceptor.
  • Substrate range depends on the specific enzyme.
  • Typical substrates include butanoyl-CoA and pentanoyl-CoA.
