| 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}. | |
