EC | 6.2.1.48 | ||||
Accepted name: | carnitine—CoA ligase | ||||
Reaction: | ATP + L-carnitine + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + L-carnitinyl-CoA | ||||
Glossary: | carnitine = 3-hydroxy-4-(trimethylammonio)butanoate crotonobetaine = (E)-4-(trimethylammonio)but-2-enoate γ-butyrobetaine = 4-(trimethylammonio)butanoate |
||||
Other name(s): | caiC (gene name) | ||||
Systematic name: | L-carnitine:CoA ligase (AMP-forming) | ||||
Comments: | The enzyme, originally characterized from the bacterium Escherichia coli, can catalyse the transfer of CoA to L-carnitine, crotonobetaine and γ-butyrobetaine. In vitro the enzyme also exhibits the activity of EC 2.8.3.21, L-carnitine CoA-transferase. | ||||
