In enzymology, a long-chain-fatty-acid—[acyl-carrier-protein] ligase (EC 6.2.1.20) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, acid, and acyl-carrier-protein, whereas its 3 products are AMP, diphosphate, and [[acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein]]].
This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, specifically those forming carbon-sulfur bonds as acid-thiol ligases.
The systematic name of this enzyme class is long-chain-fatty-acid:[acyl-carrier-protein] ligase (AMP-forming).
This enzyme participates in fatty acid metabolism.
