Enzymatic activities of Thiolase I and Thiolase II. Acetyl CoA produced by Thiolase I (EC 2.3.1.16, 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase KAT) activity is used in the TCA cycle for energy production, while acetoacetyl CoA resulting from Thiolase II (EC 2.3.1.9, acetoacetyl CoA thiolase AACT) activity is used in anabolic processes including ketone body and sterol synthesis.
