Acetoacetyl-CoA synthase (EC 2.3.1.194, NphT7) is an enzyme with systematic name acetyl-CoA:malonyl-CoA C-acetyltransferase (decarboxylating).[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

acetyl-CoA + malonyl-CoA [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] acetoacetyl-CoA + CoA + CO2

The enzyme from the soil bacterium Streptomyces sp. CL190 produces acetoacetyl-CoA.
