Structural highlights
FunctionTHIL_CUPNH Catalyzes the condensation of two acetyl-coA units to form acetoacetyl-CoA. Is involved in the biosynthesis of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), which is accumulated as an intracellular energy reserve material when cells grow under conditions of nutrient limitation. Also catalyzes the reverse reaction, i.e. the cleavage of acetoacetyl-CoA, and is therefore also involved in the reutilization of PHB.[1] [2] [3] See AlsoReferences
