Cat No.
NATE-0641
Description
Phosphotransacetylase converts CoA to acetyl CoA. This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. This enzyme participates in 3 metabolic pathways:taurine and hypotaurine metabolism, pyruvate metabolism, and propanoate metabolism.
