Cysteine-S-conjugate N-acetyltransferase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a cysteine-S-conjugate N-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.80) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- acetyl-CoA + an S-substituted L-cysteine
CoA + an S-substituted N-acetyl-L-cysteine
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA and S-substituted L-cysteine, whereas its two products are CoA and S-substituted N-acetyl-L-cysteine.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acetyl-CoA:S-substituted L-cysteine N-acetyltransferase. This enzyme participates in glutathione metabolism.
