Domain Context

CATH Clusters

Superfamily	alpha/beta hydrolase
Functional Family	Phosphatidylcholine-sterol acyltransferase

Enzyme Information

2.3.1.43

Phosphatidylcholine--sterol O-acyltransferase.

based on mapping to UniProt P04180

Phosphatidylcholine + a sterol = 1-acylglycerophosphocholine + a sterol ester.

-!- Palmitoyl, oleoyl, and linoleoyl can be transferred; a number of sterols, including cholesterol, can act as acceptors. -!- The bacterial enzyme also catalyzes the reactions of EC 3.1.1.4 and EC 3.1.1.5.
