Structural highlights
FunctionA0A0H3AY56_RICRS Involved in the type II fatty acid elongation cycle. Catalyzes the elongation of a wide range of acyl-ACP by the addition of two carbons from malonyl-ACP to an acyl acceptor. Can efficiently catalyze the conversion of palmitoleoyl-ACP (cis-hexadec-9-enoyl-ACP) to cis-vaccenoyl-ACP (cis-octadec-11-enoyl-ACP), an essential step in the thermal regulation of fatty acid composition.[PIRNR:PIRNR000447] See Also |
