| ACP | <abbreviation> Acyl carrier protein. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| ACP-acetyltransferase | Enzyme transferring acetyl from acetyl-CoA to acyl carrier protein and releasing CoA to begin fatty acid synthesis. Synonym: acetyl transacylase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ACP-malonyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme transferring malonyl from malonyl-CoA to acyl carrier protein and releasing free CoA; a key step in fatty acid synthesis. Synonym: malonyl transacylase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acyl-ACP dehydrogenase | enoyl-ACP reductase (NADPH) |
| acyl-malonyl-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) |
| beta-ketoacyl-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) |
| beta-ketoacyl-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) |
| crotonyl-ACP reductase | 1. An enzyme catalyzing hydrogenation of acyl-ACP complexes to 2,3-dehydroacyl-ACP's, with NAD+ as hydrogen acceptor; important in fatty acid metabolism. Synonym: crotonyl-ACP reductase. 2. A variant enzyme has been found carrying out the same reaction as enoyl-ACP reductase, but with NADP+ as hydrogen acceptor. Synonym: acyl-ACP dehydrogenase, acyl-ACP reductase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| holo-ACP synthase | <enzyme> An enzyme catalyzing transfer of the 4'-phosphopantetheinyl residue from CoA to a serine of apo-ACP (acyl carrier protein) to form holo-ACP, releasing adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate; a required step if fatty acid biosynthesis is to function. (05 Mar 2000) |
| enoyl-ACP reductase | 1. An enzyme catalyzing hydrogenation of acyl-ACP complexes to 2,3-dehydroacyl-ACP's, with NAD+ as hydrogen acceptor; important in fatty acid metabolism. Synonym: crotonyl-ACP reductase. 2. A variant enzyme has been found carrying out the same reaction as enoyl-ACP reductase, but with NADP+ as hydrogen acceptor. Synonym: acyl-ACP dehydrogenase, acyl-ACP reductase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
