In enzymology, an arachidonate—CoA ligase (EC 6.2.1.15) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- ATP + arachidonate + CoA [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] AMP + diphosphate + arachidonoyl-CoA
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, arachidonate, and CoA, whereas its 3 products are AMP, diphosphate, and arachidonoyl-CoA.
This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, specifically those forming carbon-sulfur bonds as acid-thiol ligases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is arachidonate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming). This enzyme is also called arachidonoyl-CoA synthetase.
