EC 2.3.1.23

Accepted name: 1-acylglycerophosphocholine O-acyltransferase

Reaction: acyl-CoA + 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine = CoA + 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine

Other name(s): lysolecithin acyltransferase; 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine acyltransferase; acyl coenzyme A-monoacylphosphatidylcholine acyltransferase; acyl-CoA:1-acyl-glycero-3-phosphocholine transacylase; lysophosphatide acyltransferase; lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase

Systematic name: acyl-CoA:1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine O-acyltransferase

Comments: Acts preferentially with unsaturated acyl-CoA derivatives. 1-Acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoinositol can also act as acceptor.
