EC 2.8.3.13

Accepted name: succinate—hydroxymethylglutarate CoA-transferase

Reaction: succinyl-CoA + 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutarate = succinate + (S)-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA

Systematic name: succinyl-CoA:3-hydroxy-3-methylglutarate CoA-transferase

Other names: hydroxymethylglutarate coenzyme A-transferase; dicarboxyl-CoA:dicarboxylic acid coenzyme A transferase
