KEGG ENZYME: 2.3.1.77

ENZYME: 2.3.1.77

Entry

EC 2.3.1.77                 Enzyme

Name

triacylglycerol---sterol O-acyltransferase;
triacylglycerol:sterol acyltransferase

Class

Transferases;
Acyltransferases;
Transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups

Sysname

triacylglycerol:3beta-hydroxysteroid O-acyltransferase

Reaction(IUBMB)

triacylglycerol + a 3beta-hydroxysteroid = diacylglycerol + a 3beta-hydroxysteroid ester [RN:R04055]

Reaction(KEGG)

R04055

Substrate

triacylglycerol [CPD:C00422];
3beta-hydroxysteroid [CPD:C02945]

Product

diacylglycerol [CPD:C00165];
3beta-hydroxysteroid ester [CPD:C03587]

Comment

Tripalmitoylglycerol and, more slowly, other triacylglycerols containing C6 to C22 fatty acids, can act as donors. The best acceptors are 3beta-hydroxysteroids with a planar ring system.

History

EC 2.3.1.77 created 1984
