ENZYME entry: EC 2.3.3.9

Accepted Name

malate synthase

Alternative Name(s)

glyoxylate transacetase

glyoxylate transacetylase

glyoxylic transacetase

L-malate glyoxylate-lyase (CoA-acetylating)

malate condensing enzyme

malate synthetase

malic-condensing enzyme

malic synthetase

Reaction catalysed

acetyl-CoA + glyoxylate + H2O <=> (S)-malate + CoA + H(+)

Comment(s)

The enzyme catalyzes the irreversible condensation of acetyl-CoA with glyoxylate to form (S)-malate.
Among other functions, the enzyme participates in the glyoxylate cycle, a modified version of the TCA cycle that bypasses steps that lead to a loss of CO2.
Formerly EC 4.1.3.2.
