AM1_2844 | Conserved hypothetical protein. (376 aa) | ||||
fabH | 3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase 3; Catalyzes the condensation reaction of fatty acid synthesis by the addition to an acyl acceptor of two carbons from malonyl-ACP. Catalyzes the first condensation reaction which initiates fatty acid synthesis and may therefore play a role in governing the total rate of fatty acid production. Possesses both acetoacetyl-ACP synthase and acetyl transacylase activities. Its substrate specificity determines the biosynthesis of branched-chain and/or straight-chain of fatty acids; Belongs to the thiolase-like superfamily. FabH family. (332 aa) |
