EC 2.3.3.8

Accepted name: ATP citrate synthase

Reaction: ADP + phosphate + acetyl-CoA + oxaloacetate = ATP + citrate + CoA

Other name(s): ATP-citric lyase; ATP:citrate oxaloacetate-lyase [(pro-S)-CH2COO-→acetyl-CoA] (ATP-dephosphorylating); acetyl-CoA:oxaloacetate acetyltransferase (isomerizing; ADP-phosphorylating); adenosine triphosphate citrate lyase; citrate cleavage enzyme; citrate-ATP lyase; citric cleavage enzyme; ATP citrate (pro-S)-lyase

Systematic name: acetyl-CoA:oxaloacetate C-acetyltransferase [(pro-S)-carboxymethyl-forming, ADP-phosphorylating]

Comments: The enzyme can be dissociated into components, two of which are identical with EC 4.1.3.34 (citryl-CoA lyase) and EC 6.2.1.18 (citrate—CoA ligase).
