Lovastatin nonaketide synthase
In enzymology, lovastatin nonaketide synthase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The 5 substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA, malonyl-CoA, NADPH, H+, and S-adenosyl-L-methionine, whereas its 6 products are dihydromonacolin L, CoA, CO2, NADP+, S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine, and H2O.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acyl-CoA:malonyl-CoA C-acyltransferase .
