High impact information on Aacs

  • SUR-5 also has some sequence similarity to acetyl coenzyme A synthetases and is predicted to contain ATP/GTP and AMP binding sites [1].
  • Expression of acetoacetyl-CoA synthetase, a novel cytosolic ketone body-utilizing enzyme, in human brain [2].
  • Role of acetoacetyl-CoA synthetase in acetoacetate utilization by tumor cells [3].
  • These observations can be accounted for by the presence of acetoacetyl-CoA synthetase, an enzyme which is able to synthesize acetoacetyl-CoA directly from acetoacetate, ATP and coenzyme A. This is the first demonstration of this enzyme in tumor tissue [3].
