background:
OXCT2 is a testis-specific succinyl-CoA:3-oxoacid CoA transferase (EC 2.8.3.5), which catalyzes the reversible transfer of CoA from succinyl-CoA to acetoacetate in the first step of ketone body utilization. See also OXCT1 (MIM 601424).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008].
Function:
Key enzyme for ketone body catabolism. Transfers the CoA moiety from succinate to acetoacetate. Formation of the enzyme-CoA intermediate proceeds via an unstable anhydride species formed between the carboxylate groups of the enzyme and substrate.
Subunit:
Homodimer.
Subcellular Location:
Mitochondrion.
Tissue Specificity:
Testis specific.
