Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA and 2-aminoethanethiol, whereas its two products are CoA and S-(2-aminoethyl)thioacetate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acetyl-CoA:2-aminoethanethiol S-acetyltransferase. Other names in common use include thioltransacetylase B, thioethanolamine acetyltransferase, and acetyl-CoA:thioethanolamine S-acetyltransferase.
