Protein Domain : IPR010083

Type:  Family Name:  Beta-hydroxyacyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) dehydratase FabA
Description:  This enzyme, FabA, shows overlapping substrate specificity with FabZ with regard to chain length in fatty acid biosynthesis. It is commonly designated 3-hydroxydecanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] dehydratase as if it were specific for that chain length, but its specificity is broader; it is active even in the initiation of fatty acid biosynthesis. This enzyme can also isomerise trans-2-decenoyl-ACP to cis-3-decenoyl-ACP to bypass reduction by FabI and instead allow biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids. FabA cannot elongate unsaturated fatty acids. Short Name:  FabA
