>cd00826 nondecarbox_cond_enzymes nondecarboxylating condensing enzymes; In general, thiolases catalyze the reversible thiolytic cleavage of 3-ketoacyl-CoA into acyl-CoA and acetyl-CoA, a 2-step reaction involving a covalent intermediate formed with a catalytic cysteine. There are 2 functional different classes: thiolase-I (3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase) and thiolase-II (acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase). Thiolase-I can cleave longer fatty acid molecules and plays an important role in the beta-oxidative degradation of fatty acids. Thiolase-II has a high substrate specificity. Although it can cleave acetoacyl-CoA, its main function is the synthesis of acetoacyl-CoA from two molecules of acetyl-CoA, which gives it importance in several biosynthetic pathways.
