EC 2.8.3.10

Accepted name: citrate CoA-transferase

Reaction: acetyl-CoA + citrate = acetate + (3S)-citryl-CoA

Systematic name: acetyl-CoA:citrate CoA-transferase

Comments: The enzyme is a component of EC 4.1.3.6 [citrate (pro-3S)-lyase]. Also catalyses the transfer of thioacyl carrier protein from its acetyl thioester to citrate.
