Citryl-CoA lyase explained

citryl-CoA lyase
Ec Number:4.1.3.34
Cas Number:131095-35-7
Go Code:0008816

The enzyme citryl-CoA lyase catalyzes the chemical reaction

(3S)-citryl-CoA

\rightleftharpoons

acetyl-CoA + oxaloacetate

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the oxo-acid-lyases, which cleave carbon–carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (3S)-citryl-CoA oxaloacetate-lyase (acetyl-CoA-forming). This enzyme is also called (3S)-citryl-CoA oxaloacetate-lyase. This enzyme participates in citrate cycle (tca cycle).
