ID   2.3.1.75
DE   long-chain-alcohol O-fatty-acyltransferase.
AN   wax-ester synthase.
AN   wax synthase.
CA   a long chain fatty alcohol + a fatty acyl-CoA = a long-chain alcohol wax
CA   ester + CoA.
CC   -!- The enzyme transfers acyl residues from acyl-CoA to long-chain
CC       alcohols, forming wax esters.
CC   -!- Wax esters have diverse biological functions in bacteria, insects,
CC       mammals, and terrestrial plants.
CC   -!- The enzyme from the plant Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) prefers acyl
CC       residues of chain-length C18 to C20 and its preferred acceptor is
CC       (11Z)-icos-11-en-1-ol.
CC   -!- cf. EC 2.3.1.332.
