Protein
L-carnitine CoA-transferase
Organism
Escherichia fergusonii (strain ATCC 35469 / DSM 13698 / CDC 0568-73)
Function
Catalyzes the reversible transfer of the CoA moiety from gamma-butyrobetainyl-CoA to L-carnitine to generate L-carnitinyl-CoA and gamma-butyrobetaine. Is also able to catalyze the reversible transfer of the CoA moiety from gamma-butyrobetainyl-CoA or L-carnitinyl-CoA to crotonobetaine to generate crotonobetainyl-CoA.
Similarity
Belongs to the CoA-transferase III family. CaiB subfamily.
