fabH (3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase 3)

FEATURES

ORGANISM

Oenococcus oeni (strain ATCC BAA-331 / PSU-1)

FAMILY

DESCRIPTION

Also known as FABH_OENOB, fabH. 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. Homodimer.
