EC 4.2.1.149

Accepted name: crotonobetainyl-CoA hydratase

Reaction: L-carnitinyl-CoA = (E)-4-(trimethylammonio)but-2-enoyl-CoA + H2O

Glossary: L-carnitinyl-CoA = (3R)-3-hydroxy-4-(trimethylammonio)butanoyl-CoA
(E)-4-(trimethylammonio)but-2-enoyl-CoA = crotonobetainyl-CoA

Other name(s): CaiD; L-carnityl-CoA dehydratase

Systematic name: L-carnitinyl-CoA hydro-lyase [(E)-4-(trimethylammonio)but-2-enoyl-CoA-forming]

Comments: The enzyme is also able to use crotonyl-CoA as substrate, with low efficiency [2].
