Function
Coenzyme A transferase which is involved in short-chain fatty acid degradation and catalyzes the activation of short-chain fatty acids to their respective CoA thiolesters. During acetoacetate degradation, catalyzes the transfer of CoA from acetyl-CoA to acetoacetate by a mechanism involving a covalent enzyme-CoA compound as a reaction intermediate. Utilizes a variety of short chain acyl-CoA and carboxylic acid substrates but exhibits maximal activity with normal and 3-keto substrates.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm
Pathway: Lipid metabolism; short-chain fatty acid metabolism
