Enzyme Information

2.3.3.9
Malate synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt P9WK17
Acetyl-CoA + H(2)O + glyoxylate = (S)-malate + CoA.
-!- The enzyme catalyzes the irreversible condensation of acetyl-CoA with glyoxylate to form (S)-malate. -!- Among other functions, the enzyme participates in the glyoxylate cycle, a modified version of the TCA cycle that bypasses steps that lead to a loss of CO(2). -!- Formerly EC 4.1.3.2.
