| Name | butyryl-CoA to butyrate, acetate CoA-transferase pathway |
| Type | SYSTEM |
| Description | This pathway describes one of two well-desribed pathways for the conversion of butyryl-CoA to butyrate, a one-step pathway of CoA transfer to acetate. An alternative two-step pathway transfers butyrate from CoA to inorganic phosphate, after which a butyrate kinase transfers the phosphate to ADP. The two pathways can coexist in a species, and the pathway described here appears to be the more significant in bacteria of the human colon. |
