| Accepted name: |
alkylglycerone-phosphate synthase |
| Reaction: |
1-acyl-glycerone 3-phosphate + a long-chain alcohol = an alkyl-glycerone 3-phosphate + a long-chain acid anion |
| Glossary: |
a long-chain alcohol = an alcohol derived from a fatty acid with an aliphatic chain of 13-22 carbons.
|
| Other name(s): |
alkyldihydroxyacetonephosphate synthase; alkyldihydroxyacetone phosphate synthetase; alkyl DHAP synthetase; alkyl-DHAP; dihydroxyacetone-phosphate acyltransferase (ambiguous); DHAP-AT |
| Systematic name: |
1-acyl-glycerone-3-phosphate:long-chain-alcohol O-3-phospho-2-oxopropanyltransferase |
| Comments: |
The ester-linked fatty acid of the substrate is cleaved and replaced by a long-chain alcohol in an ether linkage. |
