ENTRY       EC 6.2.1.15
NAME        Arachidonate--CoA ligase
            Arachidonoyl-CoA synthetase
CLASS       Ligases
            Forming carbon-sulfur bonds
            Acid--thiol ligases
SYSNAME     Arachidonate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming)
REACTION    ATP + Arachidonate + CoA = AMP + Pyrophosphate + Arachidonyl-CoA
SUBSTRATE   ATP
            Arachidonate
            CoA
            8,11,14-Eicosatrienoate
PRODUCT     AMP
            Pyrophosphate
            Arachidonyl-CoA
            8,11,14-Eicosatrienoyl-CoA
COMMENT     Not identical with EC 6.2.1.3. 8,11,14-Eicosatrienoate, but not the
            other long-chain fatty acids, can act in place of arachidonate.
