Entry
EC 2.3.1.75                 Enzyme                                 
Name
long-chain-alcohol O-fatty-acyltransferase;
wax synthase;
wax-ester synthase
Class
Transferases;
Acyltransferases;
Transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
acyl-CoA:long-chain-alcohol O-acyltransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
acyl-CoA + a long-chain alcohol = CoA + a long-chain ester [RN:R01999]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
acyl-CoA [CPD:C00040];
long-chain alcohol [CPD:C00339]
Product
CoA [CPD:C00010];
long-chain ester [CPD:C02434]
Comment
Transfers saturated or unsaturated acyl residues of chain-length C18 to C20 to long-chain alcohols, forming waxes. The best acceptor is cis-icos-11-en-1-ol.
Pathway
Cutin, suberine and wax biosynthesis
