ENZYME entry: EC 2.3.1.9

Accepted Name
acetyl-CoA C-acetyltransferase
Alternative Name(s)
acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase
Reaction catalysed
2 acetyl-CoA = acetoacetyl-CoA + CoA
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, found in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, catalyzes the Claisen condensation of an acetyl-CoA and an acyl-CoA (often another acetyl-CoA), leading to the formation of an acyl-CoA that is longer by two carbon atoms.
  • The reaction starts with the acylation of a nucleophilic cysteine at the active site, usually by acetyl-CoA but potentially by a different acyl-CoA, with concomitant release of CoA.
  • In the second step the acyl group is transferred to an acetyl-CoA molecule. cf. EC 2.3.1.16.
