Citramalate CoA-transferase explained

citramalate CoA-transferase
Ec Number:	2.8.3.11
Cas Number:	9033-60-7
Go Code:	0047775

In enzymology, a citramalate CoA-transferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

acetyl-CoA + citramalate

\rightleftharpoons acetate + (3S)-citramalyl-CoA

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA and citramalate, whereas its two products are acetate and (3S)-citramalyl-CoA.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically the CoA-transferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acetyl-CoA:citramalate CoA-transferase. This enzyme participates in c5-branched dibasic acid metabolism.
