(acyl-carrier-protein) S-acetyltransferase
- (acyl-carrier-protein) S-acetyltransferase
In enzymology, a [acyl-carrier-protein] S-acetyltransferase (EC number|2.3.1.38) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
:acetyl-CoA + [acyl-carrier-protein] CoA + acetyl- [acyl-carrier-protein]
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA and acyl-carrier-protein, whereas its two products are CoA and acetyl-acyl-carrier-protein.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acetyl-CoA: [acyl-carrier-protein] S-acetyltransferase. Other names in common use include acetyl coenzyme A-acyl-carrier-protein transacylase, [acyl-carrier-protein] acetyltransferase, [ACP] acetyltransferase, and ACAT. This enzyme participates in fatty acid biosynthesis.
