S-Acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase from baker's yeast (S. cerevisiae), lyophilized powder, >=3 units/mg protein

Synonyms: Acetate CoA ligase (AMP forming); Acetate thiokinase

CAS Number: 9012-31-1

MDL No.: MFCD00081267

Storage: -20C

Enzyme Commission (EC) Number: 6.2.1.1  ( BRENDA | IUBMB )

EC Number: 232-729-7

UNSPSC Code: 12352204

Application: S-Acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase may be used to study various metabolic pathways, such as glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, pyruvate metabolism and CO2 fixation. It may also be used in gene expression studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions: Acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase catalyzes the production of acetyl-CoA. It is involved in histone acetylation in the nucleus. It may be involved in the growth of nonfermentable carbon sources such as glycerol. Acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase is induced by acetate, acetaldehyde and ethanol .

Physical form: Lyophilized powder containing stabilizers as potassium phosphate, sucrose, and reduced glutathione

Unit Definition: One unit will form 1.0 mumole of S-acetyl coenzyme A from acetate, ATP, and coenzyme A per min at pH 7.5 at 37 C.
