UniProt functional annotation for Q5EDC8

UniProt code: Q5EDC8.

Organism: Helicobacter pylori (Campylobacter pylori).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Epsilonproteobacteria; Campylobacterales; Helicobacteraceae; Helicobacter.
 
Function: Carrier of the growing fatty acid chain in fatty acid biosynthesis. {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00003180, ECO:0000256|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01217, ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU003545}.
 
Pathway: Lipid metabolism; fatty acid biosynthesis. {ECO:0000256|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01217, ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU003545}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01217}. Plastid, chloroplast {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00004229}.
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:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01217}.
Ptm: 4'-phosphopantetheine is transferred from CoA to a specific serine of apo-ACP by acpS. {ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU003545}.
Similarity: Belongs to the acyl carrier protein (ACP) family. {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00010930, ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01217}.
