IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 2.8.3.16

Accepted name: formyl-CoA transferase

Reaction: formyl-CoA + oxalate = formate + oxalyl-CoA

Other name(s): formyl-coenzyme A transferase; formyl-CoA oxalate CoA-transferase

Systematic name: formyl-CoA:oxalate CoA-transferase

Comments: The enzyme from Oxalobacter formigenes can also catalyse the transfer of CoA from formyl-CoA to succinate.
