In enzymology a 6-methylsalicylic-acid synthase (EC 2.3.1.165) is an polyketide synthase that catalyzes the chemical reactionacetyl-CoA + 3 malonyl-CoA + NADPH + H+ 6-methylsalicylate + 4 CoA + 3 CO2 + NADP+ + H2O6-methylsalicylic-acid synthase reactionThe 4 substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA malonyl-CoA NADPH and H+ whereas its 5 products are 6-methylsalicylate CoA CO2 NADP+ and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups.
