Definition:
EC Tree > 2 Transferases > 2.3 Acyltransferases > 2.3.3 Acyl groups converted into alkyl groups on transfer > 2.3.3.14 homocitrate synthase
Homocitrate synthase condenses acetyl-CoA with 2-oxoglutarate into homocitrate, the first committed step of the α-aminoadipate lysine pathway (also weakly on oxaloacetate).
