Butyryl-CoA: acetate CoA-transferase (often abbreviated as but) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the production of butyrate. The primary function of butyryl-CoA: acetate CoA-transferase is to catalyze the conversion of Butyryl-CoA and acetate into butyrate and acetyl-CoA. This reaction is a key step in the metabolic pathway of butyrate synthesis in many gut bacteria (1, 2, 3).
The butyryl-CoA: acetate CoA-transferase gene is found in various [butyrate-producing bacteria](brain://hEdAnlM-9ECK_o17BcMDiQ/Butyra…
