In enzymology a hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase (EC 2.3.3.10) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionacetyl-CoA + H2O + acetoacetyl-CoA (S)-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA + CoAThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA H2O and acetoacetyl-CoA whereas its two products are (S)-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA and CoA.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those acyltransferases that convert acyl groups into alkyl groups on transfer.
