Coenzyme A transferases (CoA-transferases) are transferase enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a coenzyme A group from an acyl-CoA donor to a carboxylic acid acceptor.[1][2] Among other roles, they are responsible for transfer of CoA groups during fermentation and metabolism of ketone bodies. These enzymes are found in all three domains of life (bacteria, eukaryotes, archaea).[1]
