Protein
Succinyl-CoA:3-ketoacid-coenzyme A transferase, mitochondrial
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster
Function
Key enzyme for ketone body catabolism (PubMed:24100554). Transfers the CoA moiety from succinate to acetoacetate (PubMed:24100554). Formation of the enzyme-CoA intermediate proceeds via an unstable anhydride species formed between the carboxylate groups of the enzyme and substrate (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the 3-oxoacid CoA-transferase family.
