The enzyme, characterized from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other bacteria, belongs to a class of enzymes known as β-keto acid cleavage enzymes (BKACE). It participates in an L-carnitine degradation pathway. cf. EC 2.3.1.247, (5S)-5-amino-3-oxohexanoate:acetyl-CoA ethylamine transferase, EC 2.3.1.318, 3-oxoadipate:acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase, and EC 2.3.1.319, 3,5-dioxohexanoate:acetyl-CoA acetone transferase.
