DESCRIPTION

Also known as OLEA_XANCP, oleA. Involved in olefin biosynthesis (PubMed:21266575, PubMed:22524624, PubMed:27815501, PubMed:28223313). Catalyzes a non-decarboxylative head-to-head Claisen condensation of two acyl-CoA molecules, generating an (R)-2-alkyl-3-oxoalkanoate (PubMed:21266575, PubMed:22524624, PubMed:27815501). Is active with fatty acyl-CoA substrates that ranged from C(8) to C(16) in length, and is the most active with palmitoyl-CoA and myristoyl-CoA (PubMed:21266575). Homodimer (PubMed:21266575, PubMed:22524624, PubMed:27815501, PubMed:29025976, PubMed:28223313). Weakly associates with the OleBCD complex (PubMed:28223313).
