In enzymology, a 3-oxoadipate CoA-transferase (EC 2.8.3.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are succinyl-CoA and 3-oxoadipate, whereas its two products are succinate and 3-oxoadipyl-CoA.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically the CoA-transferases.
The systematic name of this enzyme class is succinyl-CoA:3-oxoadipate CoA-transferase.
Other names in common use include 3-oxoadipate coenzyme A-transferase, and 3-oxoadipate succinyl-CoA transferase.
This enzyme participates in benzoate degradation via hydroxylation.
