3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] reductase MabA

UniProtKB accession:  P9WGT3

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Part of the mycobacterial fatty acid elongation system FAS-II, which is involved in mycolic acid biosynthesis (PubMed:11932442). Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of beta-ketoacyl derivatives, the second step of the FAS-II elongation cycle (PubMed:9802011, PubMed:11932442, PubMed:17059223, PubMed:18155153, PubMed:19685079). May preferentially metabolize long-chain substrates (C8-C20) (PubMed:11932442). Can use CoA derivatives as substrates in vitro (PubMed:9802011, PubMed:11932442, PubMed:17059223, PubMed:18155153).
