IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 6.2.1.20

Names

Accepted name:
long-chain-fatty-acid—[acyl-carrier-protein] ligase
Other names:
acyl-ACP synthetase [ambiguous]
acyl-[acyl carrier protein] synthetase
acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthetase [ambiguous]
acyl-acyl carrier protein synthetase [ambiguous]
stearoyl-ACP synthetase
long-chain-fatty-acid:[acyl-carrier-protein] ligase (AMP-forming)
Systematic name:
long-chain-fatty-acid:[acyl-carrier protein] ligase (AMP-forming)

Reaction

Comments:

The enzyme ligates long chain fatty acids (with aliphatic chain of 13-22 carbons) to an acyl-carrier protein. Not identical with EC 6.2.1.3 long-chain-fatty-acid—CoA ligase.
