ENZYME entry: EC 3.1.1.67

Accepted Name
fatty-acyl-ethyl-ester synthase
Alternative Name(s)
FAEES
FAEE synthase
Reaction catalysed
a long-chain fatty acyl ethyl ester + H2O <=> a long-chain fatty acid + ethanol + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • In the reverse reaction, forms ethyl esters from fatty acids and ethanol in the absence of coenzyme A or ATP.
  • Best substrates are unsaturated octadecanoic acids; palmitate, stearate and arachidonate also act, more slowly.
