2.3.1.66 |
| Accepted name: |
leucine N-acetyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
acetyl-CoA + L-leucine = CoA + N-acetyl-L-leucine |
| Other name(s): |
leucine acetyltransferase |
| Systematic name: |
acetyl-CoA:L-leucine N-acetyltransferase |
| Comments: |
Propanoyl-CoA can act as a donor, but more slowly. L-Arginine, L-valine, L-phenylalanine and peptides containing L-leucine can act as acceptors. |
