Comments [?]

Function Catalyzes the condensation reaction of fatty acid synthesis by the addition to an acyl acceptor of two carbons from malonyl-ACP. Catalyzes the first condensation reaction which initiates fatty acid synthesis and may therefore play a role in governing the total rate of fatty acid production. Possesses both acetoacetyl-ACP synthase and acetyl transacylase activities. Its substrate specificity determines the biosynthesis of branched-chain and/or straight-chain of fatty acids.
case not <OC:Mycobacterium>
Catalytic activity RHEA:12080: acetyl-CoA + H(+) + malonyl-[ACP] = 3-oxobutanoyl-[ACP] + CO2 + CoA
EC 2.3.1.180
else case <OC:Mycobacterium>
Catalytic activity RHEA:43640: dodecanoyl-CoA + H(+) + malonyl-[ACP] = 3-oxotetradecanoyl-[ACP] + CO2 + CoA
EC 2.3.1.301
PhysiologicalDirection=left-to-right (RHEA:43641)
end case
Pathway Lipid metabolism; fatty acid biosynthesis.
case <OC:Mycobacterium>
Pathway Lipid metabolism; mycolic acid biosynthesis.
end case

case <OG:Chloroplast>
Subcellular location Plastid, chloroplast.
end case
case not <OG:Chloroplast>
Subcellular location Cytoplasm.
end case
Domain The last Arg residue of the ACP-binding site is essential for the weak association between ACP/AcpP and FabH.
Similarity Belongs to the thiolase-like superfamily. FabH family.

Comments In many organisms this enzyme can accept branched-chain acyl-CoAs (EC 2.3.1.300) in addition to acetyl-CoA. Mycobacterial enzyme acts on medium- and long-chain acyl-CoAs (EC 2.3.1.301) and has no activity with acetyl-CoA or branched-chain acyl-CoAs.
