EC 2.3.1.176

Accepted name: propanoyl-CoA C-acyltransferase

Reaction: 3α,7α,12α-trihydroxy-5β-cholanoyl-CoA + propanoyl-CoA = CoA + 3α,7α,12α-trihydroxy-24-oxo-5β-cholestanoyl-CoA

Other name(s): peroxisomal thiolase 2; sterol carrier protein-χ; SCPχ; PTE-2 (ambiguous)

Systematic name: 3α,7α,12α-trihydroxy-5β-cholanoyl-CoA:propanoyl-CoA C-acyltransferase

Comments: Also acts on dihydroxy-5β-cholestanoyl-CoA and other branched chain acyl-CoA derivatives. The enzyme catalyses the penultimate step in the formation of bile acids. The bile acid moiety is transferred from the acyl-CoA thioester (RCO-SCoA) to either glycine or taurine (NH2R') by EC 2.3.1.65, bile acid-CoA:amino acid N-acyltransferase [4].
