In enzymology, a long-chain-fatty-acid—luciferin-component ligase (EC 6.2.1.19) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, acid, and protein, whereas its 3 products are AMP, diphosphate, and acyl-protein thioester.
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:protein ligase (AMP-forming).
This enzyme is also called acyl-protein synthetase.
