In enzymology, a dicarboxylate—CoA ligase (EC 6.2.1.23) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, alphaomega-dicarboxylic acid, and CoA, whereas its 3 products are AMP, diphosphate, and omega-carboxyacyl-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 omega-dicarboxylate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming).
Other names in common use include carboxylyl-CoA synthetase, and dicarboxylyl-CoA synthetase.
