Comment typeDescription
Catalytic Activity(3R)-3-hydroxyacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] + NADP(+) = 3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] + NADPH.
Catalytic ActivityA (3R)-3-hydroxyacyl-[acyl-carrier protein] = a trans-2-enoyl-[acyl-carrier protein] + H(2)O.
Catalytic ActivityAcetyl-CoA + [acyl-carrier-protein] = CoA + acetyl-[acyl-carrier-protein].
Catalytic ActivityAcetyl-CoA + n malonyl-CoA + 2n NADPH = a long-chain fatty acid + (n+1) CoA + n CO(2) + 2n NADP(+).
Catalytic ActivityAcyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] + malonyl-[acyl- carrier-protein] = 3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] + CO(2) + [acyl-carrier-protein].
Catalytic ActivityAn acyl-[acyl-carrier protein] + NADP(+) = a trans-2,3-dehydroacyl-[acyl-carrier protein] + NADPH.
Catalytic ActivityMalonyl-CoA + an [acyl-carrier-protein] = CoA + a malonyl-[acyl-carrier-protein].
Catalytic ActivityOleoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] + H(2)O = [acyl- carrier-protein] + oleate.
FunctionFatty acid synthetase catalyzes the formation of long- chain fatty acids from acetyl-CoA, malonyl-CoA and NADPH. This multifunctional protein has 7 catalytic activities and an acyl carrier protein.
InteractionQ99IB8:- (xeno); NbExp=6; IntAct=EBI-356658, EBI-6927928;
MiscellaneousThe relatively low beta-ketoacyl synthase activity may be attributable to the low 4'-phosphopantetheine content of the protein.
