Acetate CoA-transferase YdiF

UniProtKB accession:  Q8X5X6

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  CoA transferase having broad substrate specificity for short-chain acyl-CoA thioesters with the activity decreasing when the length of the carboxylic acid chain exceeds four carbons. Exhibits high activity with acetoacetyl-CoA, propionyl-CoA, crotonoyl-CoA or butyryl-CoA as donors, with acetate as an acceptor. When acetyl-CoA is used as the donor, propionate, acetoacetate, butyrate, isobutyrate, and 4-hydroxybutyrate can be utilized as acceptors but not isovalerate. May play a role in short-chain fatty acid metabolism in E.coli.
