Superfamily: Choline/Carnitine o-acyltransferase

This superfamily includes several eukaryotic acyltransferases that have a high sequence similarity.

1) Choline o-acetyltransferase EC:2.3.1.6, an enzyme that catalyses the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine PMID:3480542.

2) Carnitine o-acetyltransferase EC:2.3.1.7 PMID:8420957.

3) Peroxisomal carnitine octanoyltransferase EC:2.3.1.137, a fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway enzyme which is involved in the transport of medium-chain acyl-coenzyme A's from peroxisome to mitochondria PMID:3233218.

4) Mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyltransferases I and II EC:2.3.1.21 (CPT), enzymes involved in fatty acid metabolism and transport PMID:8449948.

5) Mycoplasma pneumoniae putative acetyltransferase C09_orf600.
