ID 6.2.1.42 DE 3-oxocholest-4-en-26-oate--CoA ligase. CA (25S)-3-oxocholest-4-en-26-oate + ATP + CoA = (25S)-3-oxocholest-4-en-26- CA oyl-CoA + AMP + diphosphate. CC -!- The enzyme, characterized from actinobacterium Mycobacterium CC tuberculosis, catalyzes a step in the degradation of cholesterol. CC -!- It is responsible for the activation of the C8 side chain. CC -!- 3beta-hydroxycholest-5-en-26-oate can also be used as substrate.
