Name
citrate synthase (unknown stereospecificity);
citrate condensing enzyme;
CoA-acetylating citrate oxaloacetate-lyase;
citrate synthetase;
citric synthase;
citric-condensing enzyme;
citrogenase;
condensing enzyme (ambiguous);
oxaloacetate transacetase;
oxalacetic transacetase
Class
Transferases;
Acyltransferases;
Acyl groups converted into alkyl groups on transfer
Sysname
acetyl-CoA:oxaloacetate C-acetyltransferase (thioester-hydrolysing)
Reaction(IUBMB)
acetyl-CoA + H2O + oxaloacetate = citrate + CoA [RN:R00351]
Reaction(KEGG)
R00351
Substrate
acetyl-CoA [CPD:C00024];
H2O [CPD:C00001];
oxaloacetate [CPD:C00036]
Product
citrate [CPD:C00158];
CoA [CPD:C00010]
Comment
This entry has been included to accommodate those citrate synthases for which the stereospecificity with respect to C-2 of oxaloacetate has not been established [cf. EC 2.3.3.1, citrate (Si)-synthase and EC 2.3.3.3, citrate (Re)-synthase].
