Term Name:	homocitrate synthase activity
Synonyms:	2-hydroxybutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylate 2-oxoglutarate-lyase (CoA- acetylating) activity, 2-hydroxybutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylate 2-oxoglutarate-lyase (CoA-acetylating), acetyl-CoA:2-oxoglutarate C-acetyltransferase (thioester-hydrolysing, carboxymethyl forming), acetyl-coenzyme A:2-ketoglutarate C-acetyl transferase activity, homocitrate synthetase activity
Definition:	Catalysis of the reaction: 2-oxoglutarate + acetyl-CoA + H2O = CoA + H+ + homocitrate.
