|
Function |
Key enzyme for ketone body catabolism. Transfers the CoA moiety from succinate to acetoacetate. Formation of the enzyme-CoA intermediate proceeds via an unstable anhydride species formed between the carboxylate groups of the enzyme and substrate.
|
Subcellular Location |
Mitochondrion matrix.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Abundant in heart, followed in order by kidney, brain, and muscle, whereas in liver it is undetectable; also detectable in leukocytes and fibroblasts.
|
Top Pathways |
Synthesis and degradation of ketone bodies, Valine, leucine and isoleucine degradation, Butanoate metabolism
