Function

[FAC13_MYCTO] Required for maintaining the appropriate mycolic acid composition and permeability of the envelope on its exposure to acidic pH. Catalyzes the activation of long-chain fatty acids as acyl-coenzyme A (acyl-CoA), which are then transferred to the multifunctional polyketide synthase (PKS) type III for further chain extension (By similarity).
