| 3-oxoacyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) synthase | <enzyme> An enzyme of long-chain fatty acid synthesis, that adds a two-carbon unit from malonyl-(acyl carrier protein) to another molecule of fatty acyl-(acyl carrier protein), giving a beta-ketoacyl-(acyl carrier protein) with the release of carbon dioxide. Chemical name: Acyl-(acyl carrier protein):malonyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) C-acyltransferase (decarboxylating) Registry number: EC 2.3.1.41 (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| 3-oxoacyl-ACP reductase | A part of the fatty acid synthase complex; an enzyme reversibly reacting 3-oxoacyl-ACP with NADPH to form d-3-hydroxyacyl-ACP and NADP+. Synonym: beta-ketoacyl-ACP reductase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 3-oxoacyl-ACP synthase | <enzyme> An enzyme condensing malonyl-ACP and acyl-cys-protein to 3-oxoacyl-ACP + cys-protein + CO2, and similar reactions, as steps in fatty acid synthesis; cys-protein is also a part of the fatty acid synthase complex. Synonym: acyl-malonyl-ACP synthase, beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthase. (05 Mar 2000) |
