3-hydroxypropionyl-CoA synthase

3-Hydroxypropionyl-CoA synthase (, 3-hydroxypropionyl-CoA synthetase (AMP-forming), 3-hydroxypropionate-CoA ligase) is an enzyme with systematic name hydroxypropionate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * 3-hydroxypropionate + ATP + CoA $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 3-hydroxypropionyl-CoA + AMP + diphosphate

This enzyme catalyses a step in the 3-hydroxypropionate/4-hydroxybutyrate cycle.
