EC 2.3.1.155
Names
Accepted name:
acetyl-CoA C-myristoyltransferase
Other
names:
3-oxopalmitoyl-CoA hydrolase
3-oxopalmitoyl-CoA-CoA acetyltransferase
myristoyl-CoA C-acetyltransferase
3-oxopalmitoyl-CoA-CoA acetyltransferase
myristoyl-CoA C-acetyltransferase
Systematic name:
myristoyl-CoA:acetyl-CoA C-myristoyltransferase
Reaction
- myristoyl-CoA + acetyl-CoA = 3-oxopalmitoyl-CoA + CoA
Comments:
A peroxisomal enzyme involved in branched chain fatty acid β-oxidation in peroxisomes. It differs from EC 2.3.1.154 (propionyl-CoA C2-trimethyldecanoyltransferase) in not being active towards 3-oxopristanoyl-CoA.
