In enzymology, a beta-ketoacyl-acyl-carrier-protein synthase I (EC 2.3.1.41) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

an acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] + malonyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] \rightleftharpoons a 3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] + CO2 + [acyl-carrier-protein]

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are [[acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein]]] and [[malonyl-[acyl-carrier-protein]]], whereas its 3 products are [[3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein]]], CO2, and acyl carrier protein.

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-[acyl-carrier-protein]:malonyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] C-acyltransferase (decarboxylating). Other names in common use include beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthase I, beta-ketoacyl synthetase, beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthetase, beta-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthetase, beta-ketoacyl-[acyl carrier protein] synthase, beta-ketoacylsynthase, condensing enzyme, 3-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase, fatty acid condensing enzyme, acyl-malonyl(acyl-carrier-protein)-condensing enzyme, acyl-malonyl acyl carrier protein-condensing enzyme, beta-ketoacyl acyl carrier protein synthase, 3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase, 3-oxoacyl:ACP synthase I, KASI, KAS I, FabF1, and FabB. This enzyme participates in fatty acid biosynthesis.
