Bile acid CoA-transferase

In enzymology, a bile acid CoA-transferase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactions

*lithocholoyl-CoA + cholate choloyl-CoA + lithocholate
*deoxycholoyl-CoA + cholate choloyl-CoA + deoxycholate

This enzyme is involved in the removal of the CoA moiety from lithocholoyl-CoA and deoxycholoyl-CoA to form lithocholate and deoxycholate respectively.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acting on CoA. The systematic name of this enzyme is lithocholoyl-CoA:cholate CoA-transferase.
