Phenylacetate—CoA ligase
In enzymology, a phenylacetate-CoA ligase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, phenylacetate, and CoA, whereas its 3 products are AMP, diphosphate, and phenylacetyl-CoA.
This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, specifically those forming carbon-sulfur bonds as acid-thiol ligases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is phenylacetate:CoA ligase . Other names in common use include phenylacetyl-CoA ligase, PA-CoA ligase, and phenylacetyl-CoA ligase . This enzyme participates in tyrosine metabolism and phenylalanine metabolism.
