Malonyl/acetyl-CoA-ACP transacylase (MAT)

Description
Malonyl/acetyl-CoA-ACP transacylase (MAT) loads fatty acid synthase with substrates.

The acyl groups (acetyl or malonyl) are transferred from the SH group of CoA to the SH group of the phosphopantetheine moiety of acyl carrier protein (ACP).

The reactions shown here produce acetyl-KS and malonyl-ACP, which are used in the remaining reactions of the cycle.
