Superfamily: Enoyl acyl carrier protein reductase

The human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum synthesises fatty acids using a type II pathway that is absent in humans. The final step in fatty acid elongation is catalysed by enoyl acyl carrier protein reductase, a validated antimicrobial drug target. The final reaction in the FAS-II pathway is catalysed by the enoyl acyl carrier protein reductase enzyme (PfENR in P. falciparum, also known as PfFabI), which mediates the NADH-dependent reduction of trans-2-enoyl-ACP (acyl carrier protein) to acyl-ACP.

This superfamily entry represents the enoyl acyl carrier protein reductase-like domains.
