In enzymology a homocitrate synthase (EC 2.3.3.14) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionacetyl-CoA + H2O + 2-oxoglutarate (R)-2-hydroxybutane-124-tricarboxylate + CoAThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA H2O and 2-oxoglutarate whereas its two products are (R)-2-hydroxybutane-124-tricarboxylate and CoA.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those acyltransferases that convert acyl groups into alkyl groups on transfer.
