In

enzymology, a beta-ketoacyl-acyl-carrier-protein synthase I (EC 2.3.1.41) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

an acyl-acyl-carrier-protein + malonyl-acyl-carrier-protein a 3-oxoacyl-acyl-carrier-protein + CO2 + acyl-carrier-protein

Thus, the two

fatty acid biosynthesis
. This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups.

Nomenclature

The systematic name of this enzyme class is acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein]:malonyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] C-acyltransferase (decarboxylating).
