acpP
Function
Carrier of the growing fatty acid chain in fatty acid biosynthesis.
Pathway
Lipid metabolism; fatty acid biosynthesis.
Post-translational modifications
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.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the acyl carrier protein (ACP) family.
Cellular localization
- Cytoplasm
