ATP-citrate synthase

Function ATP-citrate synthase (ACS) or ATP citrate lyase or citryl-CoA synthetase is part of the citrate cycle. It catalyzes the transformation of ADP, acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate to ATP, citrate and CoA. ACS is the link between energy metabolism from carbohydrates to the production of fatty acids. See also Citrate Synthase Citric acid cycle intermediates serve as substrates for biosynthetic processes Reverse Krebs cycle. Structural highlights Crystal structures have shown that tartrate and citrate bind to ACS in the same binding site. of ATP-citrate synthase.
