| Accepted name: |
butyrate—acetoacetate CoA-transferase |
| Reaction: |
butanoyl-CoA + acetoacetate = butanoate + acetoacetyl-CoA |
| Other name(s): |
butyryl coenzyme A-acetoacetate coenzyme A-transferase; butyryl-CoA-acetoacetate CoA-transferase |
| Systematic name: |
butanoyl-CoA:acetoacetate CoA-transferase |
| Comments: |
Butanoate, acetoacetate and their CoA thioesters are the preferred substrates, but the enzyme also acts, more slowly, on the derivatives of a number of C2 to C6 monocarboxylic acids. |
