ENZYME entry: EC 2.3.1.158

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.3.1.158
Accepted Name
phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase
Alternative Name(s)
PDAT
Reaction catalysed
a glycerophospholipid + a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol = a monoacylglycerophospholipid + a triacyl-sn-glycerol
Comment(s)
  • This enzyme differs from EC 2.3.1.20 by synthesizing triacylglycerol using an acyl-CoA-independent mechanism.
  • The specificity of the enzyme for the acyl group in the phospholipid varies with species, e.g., the enzyme from castor bean (Ricinus communis) preferentially incorporates vernoloyl (12,13-epoxyoctadec- 9-enoyl) groups into triacylglycerol, whereas that from the hawk's beard (Crepis palaestina) incorporates both ricinoleoyl (12-hydroxyoctadec-9-enoyl) and vernoloyl groups.
  • The enzyme from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae specifically transfers acyl groups from the sn-2 position of the phospholipid to diacylglycerol, thus forming an sn-1-lysophospholipid.
