2.3.1.176
Propanoyl-CoA C-acyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt O62742
3-alpha,7-alpha,12-alpha-trihydroxy-5-beta-cholanoyl-CoA + propanoyl-CoA = CoA + 3-alpha,7-alpha,12-alpha-trihydroxy-24-oxo-5-beta-cholestanoyl- CoA.
-!- Also acts on dihydroxy-5-beta-cholestanoyl-CoA and other branched chain acyl-CoA derivatives. -!- Catalyzes the penultimate step in the formation of bile acids. -!- The bile acid moiety is transferred from the acyl-CoA thioester (RCO- SCoA) to either glycine or taurine (NH(2)R') by EC 2.3.1.65. -!- Formerly EC 2.3.1.154.
