Long-chain-fatty-acid-(acyl-carrier-protein) ligase
- Long-chain-fatty-acid-(acyl-carrier-protein) ligase
In enzymology, a long-chain-fatty-acid- [acyl-carrier-protein] ligase (EC number|6.2.1.20) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
:ATP + an acid + [acyl-carrier-protein] AMP + diphosphate + acyl- [acyl-carrier-protein]
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, acid, and [acyl-carrier-protein] , whereas its 3 products are AMP, diphosphate, and [acyl- [acyl-carrier-protein] .
This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, specifically those forming carbon-sulfur bonds as acid-thiol ligases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is long-chain-fatty-acid: [acyl-carrier-protein] ligase (AMP-forming). Other names in common use include acyl- [acyl-carrier-protein] synthetase, acyl- [acyl carrier protein] synthetase, acyl-ACP synthetase, acyl- [acyl-carrier-protein] synthetase, stearoyl-ACP synthetase, and acyl-acyl carrier protein synthetase. This enzyme participates in fatty acid metabolism.
