Molecular function

Catalysis of the reaction: acetyl-CoA + glyoxylate + H2O = (S)-malate + CoA + H+.

L-malate glyoxylate-lyase (CoA-acetylating) activity, acetyl-CoA:glyoxylate C-acetyltransferase (thioester-hydrolysing, carboxymethyl-forming), glyoxylate transacetase activity, glyoxylate transacetylase activity, glyoxylic transacetase activity, malate condensing enzyme activity, malate synthetase activity, malic synthetase activity, malic-condensing enzyme activity

Note that this function was formerly EC:4.1.3.2.
