In enzymology, an acetyl-CoA C-myristoyltransferase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- myristoyl-CoA + acetyl-CoA 3-oxopalmitoyl-CoA + CoA
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are myristoyl-CoA and acetyl-CoA, whereas its two products are 3-oxopalmitoyl-CoA and CoA.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is myristoyl-CoA:acetyl-CoA C-myristoyltransferase.
