| Accepted Name |
|---|
| Platelet-activating factor acetyltransferase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| PAF acetyltransferase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + 1-organyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phospholipid <=> 1-organyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phospholipid |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Catalyzes the transfer of the acetyl group from 1-alkyl-2-acyl-
sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (platelet-activating factor) to the sn-2
position of lyso-glycerophospholipids containing ethanolamine,
choline, serine, inositol or phosphate groups at the sn-3 position as
well as to sphingosine and long-chain fatty alcohols.
- The organyl group can be alkyl, acyl or alk-1-enyl (sometimes also
collectively referred to as 'radyl').
