EC 2.3.3.16 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

2.3.3.16

Accepted name

citrate synthase (unknown stereospecificity)

Reaction

acetyl-CoA + H₂O + oxaloacetate = citrate + CoA

Other name(s)

citrate condensing enzyme, CoA-acetylating citrate oxaloacetate-lyase, citrate synthetase, citric synthase, citric-condensing enzyme, citrogenase, condensing enzyme (ambiguous), oxaloacetate transacetase, oxalacetic transacetase

Systematic name

acetyl-CoA:oxaloacetate C-acetyltransferase (thioester-hydrolysing)

Comment

This entry has been included to accommodate those citrate synthases for which the stereospecificity with respect to C-2 of oxaloacetate has not been established [cf. EC 2.3.3.1, citrate (Si)-synthase and EC 2.3.3.3, citrate (Re)-synthase].
