In enzymology, a geranoyl-CoA carboxylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
ATP + geranoyl-CoA + HCO3-
\rightleftharpoons
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, geranoyl-CoA, and HCO3-, whereas its 3 products are ADP, phosphate, and 3-(4-methylpent-3-en-1-yl)pent-2-enedioyl-CoA.
This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, specifically those forming carbon–carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is geranoyl-CoA:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming). Other names in common use include geranoyl coenzyme A carboxylase, and geranyl-CoA carboxylase. It employs one cofactor, biotin.
