A 4'-phosphopantetheine prosthetic group is attached through a serine. This prosthetic group acts as a a 'swinging arm' for the attachment of activated fatty acid and amino-acid groups. This domain forms a four helix bundle. This family includes members not included in Prosite. The inclusion of these members is supported by sequence analysis and functional evidence. The related domain of Swiss:P19828 has the attachment serine replaced by an alanine.

Fatty acid synthase is a multifunctional enzyme that catalyses the de novo biosynthesis of long-chain saturated fatty acids, starting from acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA in the presence of NADPH [1-3]. This entry represents the pseudo-ketoreductase (pseudo-KR) domain which is catalytically inactive and supports the integrity of the active KR domain [1,3].
