Product Name long-chain acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] reductase
Example Structure Example Structure of long-chain acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] reductase EC#: 1.2.1.80
Synonyms AAR, acyl-ACP reductase, acyl-acyl carrier protein reductase, AtFAR6, CpFAS1 acyl reductase, CpFAS1-R, fatty aldehyde-generating acyl-ACP reductase, Npun_R1710
EC Number 1.2.1.80
CAS Registry Number
Comments Catalyses the reaction in the opposite direction. This enzyme, purified from the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942, catalyses the NAD(P)H-dependent reduction of an activated fatty acid (acyl-[acp]) to the corresponding aldehyde. Together with EC 4.1.99.5, octadecanal decarbonylase, it is involved in alkane biosynthesis. The natural substrates of the enzyme are C16 to C18 activated fatty acids. Requires Mg2+.
Cofactor Mg2+
History
Reactions A long-chain aldehyde + an [acyl-carrier protein] + NAD(P)(+) = a long- chain acyl-[acyl-carrier protein] + NAD(P)H.
