Other names: 3-oxoadipate coenzyme A-transferase; 3-oxoadipate succinyl-CoA transferase
Systematic name: succinyl-CoA:3-oxoadipate CoA-transferase
Comments: The enzyme, often found in soil bacteria and fungi, is involved in the catabolism of a variety of aromatic compounds, including catechol and protocatechuate, which are degraded via 3-oxoadipate.
