S-acetylcysteamine
 

The two substrates of this enzyme are cysteamine and acetyl-CoA. Its products are S-acetylcysteamine and coenzyme A.[1][2]

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.[3]
