3-Oxoacyl-(Acyl-Carrier-Protein) Synthase definition

3-Oxoacyl-(Acyl-Carrier-Protein) Synthase
3 Oxoacyl (Acyl Carrier Protein) Synthase; 3-Keto-ACP Synthase; 3-Oxoacyl (Acyl Carrier Protein) Synthase; 3-Oxoacyl Synthetase; Acyl-Malonyl-ACP Condensing Enzyme; beta Keto Acyl Synthetase; beta Keto-Acyl Carrier Protein Synthase I
An enzyme of long-chain fatty acid synthesis, that adds a two-carbon unit from malonyl-(acyl carrier protein) to another molecule of fatty acyl-(acyl carrier protein), giving a beta-ketoacyl-(acyl carrier protein) with the release of carbon dioxide. EC 2.3.1.41.
