In enzymology a citrate-CoA ligase (EC 6.2.1.18) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + citrate + CoA ADP + phosphate + (3S)-citryl-CoAThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP citrate and CoA whereas its 3 products are ADP phosphate and (3S)-citryl-CoA.This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases specifically those forming carbon-sulfur bonds as acid-thiol ligases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is citrate:CoA ligase (ADP-forming).
