ENTRY       EC 2.8.3.9
NAME        Butyrate--acetoacetate CoA-transferase
CLASS       Transferases
            Transferring sulfur-containing groups
            CoA-transferases
SYSNAME     Butanoyl-CoA:acetoacetate CoA-transferase
REACTION    Butanoyl-CoA + Acetoacetate = Butanoate + Acetoacetyl-CoA
SUBSTRATE   Butanoyl-CoA
            Acetoacetate
PRODUCT     Butanoate
            Acetoacetyl-CoA
COMMENT     Butanoate, acetoacetate, and their CoA thioesters are the
            preferred substrates, but the enzyme also acts, more slowly, on
            the derivatives of a number of C2 to C6 monocarboxylic acids.
