Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityAcetyl-CoA + H(2)O + oxaloacetate = citrate + CoA. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU10117}.
Developmental StageExpressed throughout seedling growth. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15923350}.
FunctionPeroxisomal citrate synthase required for the fatty acid respiration in seedlings, citrate being exported from peroxisomes into mitochondria during respiration of triacylglycerol (TAG). Indeed, complete respiration requires the transfer of carbon in the form of citrate from the peroxisome to the mitochondria. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15923350}.
MiscellaneousCitrate synthase is found in nearly all cells capable of oxidative metabolism.
PathwayCarbohydrate metabolism; tricarboxylic acid cycle; isocitrate from oxaloacetate: step 1/2.
Sequence CautionSequence=BAD93857.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
SimilarityBelongs to the citrate synthase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationPeroxisome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15923350}.
Tissue SpecificityWidely expressed. Expressed throughout the shoot. Expressed in flower, silique, stem, cauline leaf, young leaf, mature leaf and senescent leaf. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15923350}.
