ro-3-phospholipid acetyltransferase
Reaction(IUBMB) 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine +

1-organyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine +
1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phospholipid [RN:R04722]
Reaction(KEGG) R04722
Show
Substrate 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine;
1-organyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phospholipid [CPD:C05217]
Product 1-organyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine [CPD:C04317];
1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phospholipid [CPD:C05218]
Comment Catalyses the transfer of the acetyl group from
1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (platelet-activating
factor) to the sn-2 position of lyso-glycerophospholipids containing
ethanolamine, choline, serine, inositol or phosphate groups at the
sn-3 position as well as to sphingosine and long-chain fatty
alcohols. The organyl group can be alkyl, acyl or alk-1-enyl
(sometimes also collectively referred to as 'radyl').
