2.3.1.155 |
Accepted name: |
acetyl-CoA C-myristoyltransferase |
Reaction: |
myristoyl-CoA + acetyl-CoA = CoA + 3-oxopalmitoyl-CoA |
Systematic name: |
myristoyl-CoA:acetyl-CoA C-myristoyltransferase |
Comments: |
A peroxisomal enzyme involved in branched chain fatty acid β-oxidation in peroxisomes. It differs from EC 2.3.1.176 (propanoyl-CoA C-acyltransferase) in not being active towards 3-oxopristanoyl-CoA. |
