2-methylcitrate synthase, mitochondrial

UniProtKB accession:  B0YD89

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Component of the methylcitrate cycle that catalyzes the synthesis of (2S,3S)-2-methylcitrate from propionyl-CoA and oxaloacetate. Plays an important role in detoxification of propionyl-CoA, an inhibitor of both primary and secondary metabolism. Has also citrate synthase activity using as substrates acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate. Plays a key role in the estabishment of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis.
