Function

ACEB_HALVD Involved in the glyoxylate cycle which synthesizes precursors for carbohydrates from C2 compounds such as acetate. Catalyzes the Claisen condensation between acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) and glyoxylate to form the malyl-CoA intermediate that is subsequently hydrolyzed to produce malate and CoA.^{[1] [2] [3]}
