Very-long-chain 3-oxoacyl-CoA synthase
Very-long-chain 3-oxoacyl-CoA synthase , CER6 , FAE1 , KCS , ELO is an enzyme with systematic name malonyl-CoA:very-long-chain acyl-CoA malonyltransferase . This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
This is the first component of the elongase, a microsomal protein complex responsible for extending palmitoyl-CoA and stearoyl-CoA to very-long-chain acyl CoAs.
