In enzymology, a 3-oxoadipate CoA-transferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
succinyl-CoA + 3-oxoadipate
\rightleftharpoons
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are succinyl-CoA and 3-oxoadipate, whereas its two products are succinate and 3-oxoadipyl-CoA.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically the CoA-transferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is succinyl-CoA:3-oxoadipate CoA-transferase. Other names in common use include 3-oxoadipate coenzyme A-transferase, and 3-oxoadipate succinyl-CoA transferase. This enzyme participates in benzoate degradation via hydroxylation.
