The acyl carrier protein (ACP) is an important component in both fatty acid and polyketide biosynthesis with the growing chain bound during synthesis as a thiol ester at the distal thiol of a 4`-phosphopantetheine moiety. The protein is expressed in the inactive apo form and the 4`-phosphopantetheine moiety must be post-translationally attached .....

(ACP) Type: Term Definitions: 1. one of the proteins of the complex in cytoplasm that contains all of the enzymes required to convert acetyl-CoA (and, in certain cases, butyryl-CoA or propionyl-CoA) and malonyl-CoA to palmitic acid. This complex is tightly bound together in mammalian tissues and in yeast, but that from Escherichi...
