ATP + (R)-4′-phosphopantothenate + L-cysteine = AMP + diphosphate + N-[(R)-4′-phosphopantothenoyl]-L-cysteine
Other name(s)
phosphopantothenoylcysteine synthetase (ambiguous), PPCS (gene name)
Systematic name
(R)-4′-phosphopantothenate:L-cysteine ligase (ATP-utilizing)
CAS registry number
9023-50-1
Comment
A key enzyme in the production of coenzyme A. The eukaryotic enzyme requires ATP, in contrast to the bacterial enzyme, EC 6.3.2.5, phosphopantothenate—cysteine ligase, which requires CTP.
