IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 6.3.2.5

Names

Accepted name:
phosphopantothenate—cysteine ligase (CTP)
Other names:
phosphopantothenoylcysteine synthetase [ambiguous]
phosphopantothenate—cysteine ligase [ambiguous]
Systematic name:
(R)-4'-phosphopantothenate:L-cysteine ligase

Reaction

Comments:

A key enzyme in the production of coenzyme A. The bacterial enzyme requires CTP, in contrast to the eukaryotic enzyme, EC 6.3.2.51, which requires ATP. Cysteine can be replaced by some of its derivatives.
