(acyl-carrier-protein) S-malonyltransferase

In enzymology, a [acyl-carrier-protein] S-malonyltransferase (EC number|2.3.1.39) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:malonyl-CoA + [acyl-carrier-protein] $ightleftharpoons$ CoA + malonyl- [acyl-carrier-protein]

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are malonyl-CoA and [acyl-carrier-protein] , whereas its two products are CoA and [malonyl- [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 malonyl-CoA: [acyl-carrier-protein] S-malonyltransferase. Other names in common use include malonyl coenzyme A-acyl carrier protein transacylase, malonyl transacylase, malonyl transferase, malonyl-CoA-acyl carrier protein transacylase, [acyl carrier protein] malonyltransferase, MAT, FabD, malonyl-CoA:acyl carrier protein transacylase, malonyl-CoA:ACP transacylase, MCAT, and malonyl-CoA:AcpM transacylase. This enzyme participates in fatty acid biosynthesis.
