| Product |

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'). |
