2.8.3.27

Accepted name:

propanoyl-CoA:succinate CoA transferase

Reaction:

propanoyl-CoA + succinate = propanoate + succinyl-CoA

Other name(s):

succinyl-CoA:propionate CoA-transferase; propionyl-CoA:succinyl-CoA transferase; ASCT; scpC (gene name)

Systematic name:

propanoyl-CoA:succinate CoA transferase

Comments:

The enzyme is most specific in Escherichia coli, where the preferred substrates are propanoyl-CoA and succinate. In other organisms, the enzyme uses acetyl-CoA at the same rate as propanoyl-CoA (cf. EC 2.8.3.18, succinyl-CoA:acetate CoA-transferase).
