Acyl-(acyl-carrier-protein)-phospholipid O-acyltransferase

Acyl-(acyl-carrier-protein)-phospholipid O-acyltransferase

In enzymology, an acyl- [acyl-carrier-protein] -phospholipid O-acyltransferase (EC number|2.3.1.40) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:acyl- [acyl-carrier protein] + O-(2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho)ethanolamine ightleftharpoons [acyl-carrier protein] + O-(1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho)ethanolamine

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are acyl-acyl-carrier protein and O-(2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho)ethanolamine, whereas its two products are acyl-carrier protein and O-(1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho)ethanolamine.

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] :O-(2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho)ethanolamine O-acyltransferase. Other names in common use include acyl- [acyl-carrier, protein] :O-(2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho)-ethanolamine, and O-acyltransferase. This enzyme participates in glycerophospholipid metabolism.
