EC 2.3.1.165 Details
EC number
2.3.1.165
Accepted name
6-methylsalicylic-acid synthase
Reaction
acetyl-CoA + 3 malonyl-CoA + NADPH + H+ = 6-methylsalicylate + 4 CoA + 3 CO2 + NADP+ + H2O
Other name(s)
MSAS, 6-methylsalicylic acid synthase
Systematic name
acyl-CoA:malonyl-CoA C-acyltransferase (decarboxylating, oxoacyl-reducing, thioester-hydrolysing and cyclizing)
CAS registry number
9045-37-8
Comment
A multienzyme complex with a 4′-phosphopantetheine prosthetic group on the acyl carrier protein. It has a similar sequence to vertebrate type I fatty acid synthase. Acetoacetyl-CoA can also act as a starter molecule.
