Description

Introduction

Gracilaria tenuistipitata var. liui 3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase 3, commonly known as FabH, is a condensing enzyme that initiates fatty acid biosynthesis in bacteria. It is involved in the type II fatty acid (FA) biosynthesis pathway, which is responsible for synthesizing fatty acids . FabH produces acetoacetyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP), which is a precursor for the elongation cycle where two carbons are added to the acyl-ACP intermediate until the fatty acid reaches the appropriate length .

Role in Fatty Acid Composition

The following table summarizes the changes in fatty acid composition observed in fabH mutants:

Product Specs

Form
Lyophilized powder
Note: While we will prioritize shipping the format currently in stock, please specify your format preference in order remarks for customized preparation.
Lead Time
Delivery times vary depending on the purchase method and location. Please consult your local distributor for precise delivery estimates.
Note: All proteins are shipped with standard blue ice packs unless dry ice shipping is requested in advance. Additional fees apply for dry ice shipping.
Notes
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
Centrifuge the vial briefly before opening to consolidate the contents. Reconstitute the protein in sterile, deionized water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. For long-term storage, we recommend adding 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) and aliquoting at -20°C/-80°C. Our standard glycerol concentration is 50%, which can serve as a guideline.
Shelf Life
Shelf life depends on several factors: storage conditions, buffer composition, temperature, and protein stability. Generally, liquid formulations have a 6-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C, while lyophilized forms have a 12-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt. Aliquoting is essential for multiple uses. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Target Background

Function
This enzyme catalyzes the condensation reaction in fatty acid synthesis by adding two carbons from malonyl-ACP to an acyl acceptor. It initiates fatty acid synthesis by catalyzing the first condensation reaction, thus playing a crucial role in regulating overall fatty acid production. It exhibits both acetoacetyl-ACP synthase and acetyl transacylase activities. Its substrate specificity dictates the biosynthesis of branched-chain and/or straight-chain fatty acids.
Protein Families
FabH family
Subcellular Location
Plastid, chloroplast.
