| 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) |
| latent carrier | A person, typically a prospective parent, bearing the appropriate genotype of a trait (homozygous for recessive, homozygous or heterozygous for dominant, hemizygous or homozygous for X-linked) that manifests the trait only under certain conditions, e.g., age, an environmental insult, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| long-chain-fatty-acid-(acyl-carrier-protein) ligase | <enzyme> Fatty acid, acyl-carrier-protein-sh and ATP gives acyl-(acyl-carrier-protein), AMP and ppi Registry number: EC 6.2.1.20 Synonym: fatty acid-acyl carrier protein ligase (AMP), acyl-(acyl-carrier-protein)synthetase, aacp synthetase, fatty acyl-acyl carrier protein synthase, vibrio harveyi, acyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) synthetase, acyl-acp synthetase (26 Jun 1999) |
