| thiokinase | Group term for enzymes that form acyl-CoA compounds from the corresponding fatty acids and CoA; the bond is through the sulfur atom of the CoA. (05 Mar 2000) |

| acetate thiokinase | A ligase that catalyses the reaction of acetate and CoA and ATP to form AMP, pyrophosphate, and acetyl-CoA. A key step in the activation of acetate. Synonym: acetate thiokinase, acetate-CoA ligase, acetyl-activating enzyme, acetyl-CoA synthetase. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| succinic thiokinase | A ligase reversibly reacting succinate and CoA with ATP to produce ADP, inorganic phosphate, and succinyl-CoA, a similar synthetase, but one able to use itaconate as well as succinate and GTP (or ITP) in place of ATP; a part of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Synonym: succinic thiokinase, succinyl-CoA ligase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fatty acid thiokinase | Long chain: long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase, medium chain: butyrate-CoA ligase. (05 Mar 2000) |
