Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityA very-long-chain acyl-CoA + malonyl-CoA = CoA + a very-long-chain 3-oxoacyl-CoA + CO(2).
Enzyme RegulationInhibited by K3 herbicides such as alachlor, allidochlor, anilofos, cafenstrole and flufenacet. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15277688}.
FunctionMediates mostly the synthesis of VLCFAs from 26 to 30 carbons in length (e.g. C20:1, C26, C28, C30). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15277688}.
InductionRepressed by herbicides such as flufenacet and benfuresate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12916765}.
PathwayLipid metabolism; fatty acid biosynthesis.
