IUBMB Comments

The enzyme acts on acetyl-CoA, propanoyl-CoA, butanoyl-CoA and pentanoyl-CoA. The relative rate of condensation of acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate is 140% of that of propanoyl-CoA and oxaloacetate, but the enzyme is distinct from EC 2.3.3.1, citrate (Si)-synthase. Oxaloacetate cannot be replaced by glyoxylate, pyruvate or 2-oxoglutarate.

The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Bacteria, Eukaryota, Archaea

Synonyms
methylcitrate synthase, 2-methylcitrate synthase, prpc2, 2-mcs, citrate synthase ii, 2-mcs1, rv1131, 2-mc synthase, more
