In enzymology, a S-acetyltransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA and acyl carrier protein, whereas its two products are CoA and acetyl-acyl-carrier-protein.
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 acetyl-CoA: S-acetyltransferase. Other names in common use include acetyl coenzyme A-acyl-carrier-protein transacylase, Acetyl CoA:ACP transacylase, acetyltransferase, acetyltransferase, and ACAT. This enzyme participates in fatty acid biosynthesis.
