EC 3.6.3.47

Accepted name: fatty-acyl-CoA-transporting ATPase

Reaction: ATP + H2O + fatty acyl CoAcis = ADP + phosphate + fatty acyl CoAtrans

Systematic name: ATP phosphohydrolase (fatty-acyl-CoA-transporting)

Comments: ABC-type (ATP-binding cassette-type) ATPase, characterised by the presence of two similar ATP-binding domains. Does not undergo phosphorylation during the transport process. An animal and yeast enzyme that transports fatty acyl CoA into and out of peroxisomes. In humans, it is associated with Zellweger's syndrome.
