Identifier

ACP

Protein name

RecName: Full=Acyl carrier protein; Short=ACP;

Gene name

acpP

FUNCTION: Carrier of the growing fatty acid chain in fatty acid biosynthesis (By similarity).

PATHWAY: Lipid metabolism; fatty acid biosynthesis.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Plastid, chloroplast.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm (By similarity).

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 (By similarity).

SIMILARITY: Contains 1 acyl carrier domain.
