name: acyl carrier activity
namespace: molecular_function
def: "Binding an acyl group and presenting it for processing or offloading to a cognate enzyme. Covalently binds the acyl group via a phosphopantetheine prosthetic group and mediates protein-protein interactions with the enzyme conferring specificity. The acyl carrier protein (ACP) presents substrates to enzymes involved in fatty acid biosynthesis or in polyketide secondary metabolite biosynthesis." [GOC:jl, GOC:vw]
synonym: "ACP phosphopantetheine attachment site binding involved in fatty acid biosynthetic process" EXACT []
