ENZYME entry: EC 2.3.1.296

Accepted Name
omega-hydroxyceramide transacylase
Reaction catalysed
a (9Z,12Z)-octadecadienoyl-containing triacyl-sn-glycerol + an N-(omega-hydroxy-ultra-long chain fatty acyl)-sphingoid base <=> a diacylglycerol + an N-[omega-(9Z,12Z-octadecadienoyloxy)-O-ultra-long chain fatty acyl]-sphingoid base
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme participates in the production of acylceramides in the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the epidermis.
