EC 2.8.3.18 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

2.8.3.18

Accepted name

succinyl-CoA:acetate CoA-transferase

Reaction

succinyl-CoA + acetate = acetyl-CoA + succinate

Other name(s)

aarC (gene name), SCACT

Systematic name

succinyl-CoA:acetate CoA-transferase

Comment

In some bacteria the enzyme catalyses the conversion of acetate to acetyl-CoA as part of a modified tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle [3,5,6]. In other organisms it converts acetyl-CoA to acetate during fermentation [1,2,4,7]. In some organisms the enzyme also catalyses the activity of EC 2.8.3.27, propanoyl-CoA:succinate CoA transferase.
