In [[enzymology]], a '''malonate CoA-transferase''' ({{EC number|2.8.3.3}}) is an [[enzyme]] that [[catalysis|catalyzes]] the [[chemical reaction]]

:acetyl-CoA + malonate <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> acetate + malonyl-CoA

Thus, the two [[substrate (biochemistry)|substrates]] of this enzyme are [[acetyl-CoA]] and [[malonate]], whereas its two [[product (chemistry)|products]] are [[acetate]] and [[malonyl-CoA]].

This enzyme belongs to the family of [[transferase]]s, specifically the CoA-transferases.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is '''acetyl-CoA:malonate CoA-transferase'''. This enzyme is also called '''malonate coenzyme A-transferase'''.  This enzyme participates in [[beta-alanine metabolism]] and [[propanoate metabolism]].
