| Accepted name: |
2-acylglycerol O-acyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
acyl-CoA + 2-acylglycerol = CoA + diacylglycerol |
| Other name(s): |
acylglycerol palmitoyltransferase; monoglyceride acyltransferase; acyl coenzyme A-monoglyceride acyltransferase; monoacylglycerol acyltransferase |
| Systematic name: |
acyl-CoA:2-acylglycerol O-acyltransferase |
| Comments: |
Various 2-acylglycerols can act as acceptor; palmitoyl-CoA and other long-chain acyl-CoAs can act as donors. The sn-1 position and the sn-3 position are both acylated, at about the same rate. |
