In enzymology, an arachidonate—CoA ligase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
ATP + arachidonate + CoA
\rightleftharpoons
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, arachidonate, and CoA, whereas its 3 products are AMP, diphosphate, and arachidonoyl-CoA.
This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, specifically those forming carbon-sulfur bonds as acid-thiol ligases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is arachidonate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming). This enzyme is also called arachidonoyl-CoA synthetase.
