glcB
Function
Involved in the glycolate utilization. Catalyzes the condensation and subsequent hydrolysis of acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) and glyoxylate to form malate and CoA.
Pathway
Carbohydrate metabolism; glyoxylate cycle; (S)-malate from isocitrate: step 2/2.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the malate synthase family. GlcB subfamily.
