In
enzymology, a 2-acylglycerol O-acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.22) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- acyl-CoA + 2-acylglycerol CoA + diacylglycerol
Thus, the two
diacylglycerol
.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acyl-CoA:2-acylglycerol O-acyltransferase. Other names in common use include acylglycerol palmitoyltransferase, monoglyceride acyltransferase, acyl coenzyme A-monoglyceride acyltransferase, and monoacylglycerol acyltransferase. This enzyme participates in glycerolipid metabolism.
