N6-hydroxylysine O-acetyltransferase
Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a N6-hydroxylysine O-acetyltransferase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- acetyl-CoA + N6-hydroxy-L-lysine CoA + N6-acetyl-N6-hydroxy-L-lysine
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA and N6-hydroxy-L-lysine, whereas its two products are CoA and N6-acetyl-N6-hydroxy-L-lysine.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acetyl-CoA:N6-hydroxy-L-lysine 6-acetyltransferase. Other names in common use include N6-hydroxylysine:acetyl CoA N6-transacetylase, N6-hydroxylysine acetylase, and acetyl-CoA:6-N-hydroxy-L-lysine 6-acetyltransferase. This enzyme participates in lysine degradation.
