CATH Classification

Domain Context

CATH Clusters

Superfamily Aspartate Aminotransferase, domain 1
Functional Family 2-amino-3-ketobutyrate coenzyme A ligase

Enzyme Information

2.3.1.29
Glycine C-acetyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt P0AB77
Acetyl-CoA + glycine = CoA + 2-amino-3-oxobutanoate.
-!- Acts in concert with EC 1.1.1.103 in the degradation of threonine to form glycine. -!- This threonine degradation pathway is common to prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and the two enzymes involved form a complex.
