UniProtKB accession:  P0AAI5

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Involved in the type II fatty acid elongation cycle (PubMed:6988423, PubMed:9013860). Catalyzes the elongation of a wide range of acyl-ACP by the addition of two carbons from malonyl-ACP to an acyl acceptor (PubMed:22017312, PubMed:9013860). Can efficiently catalyze the conversion of palmitoleoyl-ACP (cis-hexadec-9-enoyl-ACP) to cis-vaccenoyl-ACP (cis-octadec-11-enoyl-ACP), an essential step in the thermal regulation of fatty acid composition (PubMed:6988423, PubMed:9013860). Can use acyl chains from C-6 to C-16 (PubMed:22017312, PubMed:9013860). Is able to catalyze the condensation reaction when CoA is the carrier for both substrates (PubMed:22017312).
