ID   2.3.1.43
DE   phosphatidylcholine--sterol O-acyltransferase.
AN   LCAT.
AN   lecithin--cholesterol acyltransferase.
AN   phospholipid--cholesterol acyltransferase.
CA   a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + a sterol = a 1-acyl-
CA   sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + a sterol ester.
CC   -!- Palmitoyl, oleoyl, and linoleoyl can be transferred; a number of
CC       sterols, including cholesterol, can act as acceptors.
CC   -!- The bacterial enzyme also catalyzes the reactions of EC 3.1.1.4 and
CC       EC 3.1.1.5.
