In enzymology an acetone carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionacetone + CO2 + ATP + 2 H2O acetoacetate + AMP + 2 phosphateThe 4 substrates of this enzyme are acetone CO2 ATP and H2O whereas its 3 products are acetoacetate AMP and phosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases specifically those forming carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acetone:carbon-dioxide ligase (AMP-forming).
