In enzymology a 6-carboxyhexanoate—CoA ligase (EC 6.2.1.14) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + 6-carboxyhexanoate + CoA AMP + diphosphate + 6-carboxyhexanoyl-CoAThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP 6-carboxyhexanoate and CoA whereas its 3 products are AMP diphosphate and 6-carboxyhexanoyl-CoA.This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases specifically those forming carbon-sulfur bonds as acid-thiol ligases.
