Citramalyl-CoA lyase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a citramalyl-CoA lyase (EC 4.1.3.25) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- (3S)-citramalyl-CoA
acetyl-CoA + pyruvate
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, (3S)-citramalyl-CoA, and two products, acetyl-CoA and pyruvate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the oxo-acid-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (3S)-citramalyl-CoA pyruvate-lyase (acetyl-CoA-forming). Other names in common use include citramalyl coenzyme A lyase, (+)-CMA-CoA lyase, and (3S)-citramalyl-CoA pyruvate-lyase. This enzyme participates in pyruvate metabolism and c5-branched dibasic acid metabolism.
