- Alkylglycerophosphate 2-O-acetyltransferase
In
enzymology , an alkylglycerophosphate 2-O-acetyltransferase (EC number|2.3.1.105) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :acetyl-CoA + 1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate CoA + 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
acetyl-CoA and1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate , whereas its two products are CoA and1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate .This enzyme belongs to the family of
transferase s, specifically thoseacyltransferase s transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acetyl-CoA:1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate 2-O-acetyltransferase. This enzyme is also called alkyllyso-GP:acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase. This enzyme participates inether lipid metabolism .References
