IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 2.3.3.3

Names

Accepted name:
citrate (Re)-synthase
Other names:
(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]

Reaction

Comments:

This enzyme is inactivated by oxygen and is found in some anaerobes. Its stereospecificity is opposite to that of EC 2.3.3.1, citrate (Si)-synthase.
