ID   2.8.3.25
DE   bile acid CoA-transferase.
AN   bile acid coenzyme A transferase.
CA   (1) cholate + lithocholoyl-CoA = choloyl-CoA + lithocholate.
CA   (2) cholate + deoxycholoyl-CoA = choloyl-CoA + deoxycholate.
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the gut bacterium Clostridium
CC       scindens, catalyzes the last step in bile acid 7alpha-
CC       dehydroxylation, the removal of the CoA moiety from the products.
CC   -!- By using a transferase rather than hydrolase, the bacteria conserve
CC       the thioester bond energy, saving ATP molecules.
CC   -!- The enzyme has a broad substrate specificity and can use multiple
CC       acceptors, including allocholate, ursodeoxycholate, and beta-
CC       muricholate.
CC   -!- Formerly EC 3.1.2.26.
