Description
This enzyme, along with EC 2.3.1.39, [acyl-carrier-protein] S-malonyltransferase, is essential for the initiation of fatty-acid biosynthesis in bacteria. The substrate acetyl-CoA protects the enzyme against inhibition by N-ethylmaleimide or iodoacetamide. This is one of the activities associated with β-ketoacyl-ACP synthase III (EC 2.3.1.180).
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC~-80 ºC.
Synonyms
acetyl coenzyme A-acyl-carrier-protein transacylase; [acyl-carrier-protein]acetyltransferase; [ACP]acetyltransferase; ACAT; acetyl-CoA:[acyl-carrier-protein] S-acetyltransferase
Reaction
acetyl-CoA + an [acyl-carrier protein] = CoA + an acetyl-[acyl-carrier protein]
