2.3.3.3
Accepted name
citrate (Re)-synthase
Reaction
acetyl-CoA + H2O + oxaloacetate = citrate + CoA
Other name(s)
(R)-citrate synthase,
Re-citrate-synthase,
citrate oxaloacetate-lyase [(pro-3R)-CH2COO-→acetyl-CoA]
Systematic name
acetyl-CoA:oxaloacetate C-acetyltransferase [thioester-hydrolysing, (pro-R)-carboxymethyl-forming]
CAS registry number
9077-70-7
