Enzyme Information
| 2.3.1.43 |
Phosphatidylcholine--sterol O-acyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt P04180
Phosphatidylcholine + a sterol = 1-acylglycerophosphocholine + a sterol ester.
-!- Palmitoyl, oleoyl, and linoleoyl can be transferred; a number of sterols, including cholesterol, can act as acceptors. -!- The bacterial enzyme also catalyzes the reactions of EC 3.1.1.4 and EC 3.1.1.5.
