In

enzymology, a [acyl-carrier-protein] S-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.38) is an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible chemical reaction

acetyl-CoA + [acyl-carrier-protein] CoA + acetyl-[acyl-carrier-protein]

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

fatty acid biosynthesis
.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, only one

structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code 2PFF
.
