Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityOleoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] + H(2)O = [acyl- carrier-protein] + oleate.
FunctionIn fatty acid biosynthesis chain termination and release of the free fatty acid product is achieved by hydrolysis of the thio ester by a thioesterase I, a component of the fatty acid synthetase complex. The chain length of the released fatty acid is usually C16. However, in the mammary glands of non-ruminant mammals, and in the uropygial gland of certain waterfowl there exists a second thioesterase which releases medium-chain length fatty acids (C8 to C2).
SimilarityBelongs to the thioesterase family
SubunitMonomer.
