ID 2.3.1.43 DE phosphatidylcholine--sterol O-acyltransferase. AN LCAT. AN lecithin--cholesterol acyltransferase. AN phospholipid--cholesterol acyltransferase. CA a sterol + a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine = a sterol ester + CA a 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. 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.
