4.1.1.9 |
| Accepted name: |
malonyl-CoA decarboxylase |
| Reaction: |
malonyl-CoA = acetyl-CoA + CO2 |
| Other name(s): |
malonyl coenzyme A decarboxylase; malonyl-CoA carboxy-lyase |
| Systematic name: |
malonyl-CoA carboxy-lyase (acetyl-CoA-forming) |
| Comments: |
Specific for malonyl-CoA. The enzyme from Pseudomonas ovalis also catalyses the reaction of EC 2.8.3.3 malonate CoA-transferase. |
