UniProt functional annotation for O67611

UniProt code: O67611.

Organism: Aquifex aeolicus (strain VF5).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Aquificae; Aquificales; Aquificaceae; Aquifex.
 
Function: Carrier of the growing fatty acid chain in fatty acid biosynthesis. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01217}.
 
Pathway: Lipid metabolism; fatty acid biosynthesis. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01217}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01217}.
Ptm: 4'-phosphopantetheine is transferred from CoA to a specific serine of apo-ACP by AcpS. This modification is essential for activity because fatty acids are bound in thioester linkage to the sulfhydryl of the prosthetic group. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01217}.
Similarity: Belongs to the acyl carrier protein (ACP) family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01217}.
