| EC | 2.3.1.296 | ||
| Accepted name: | ω-hydroxyceramide transacylase | ||
| Reaction: | a linoleate-containing triacyl-sn-glycerol + an ultra-long-chain ω-hydroxyceramide = a diacyl-sn-glycerol + a linoleate-esterified acylceramide | ||
| Glossary: | an ultra-long-chain fatty acid = ULCFA = a fatty acid with aliphatic chain of 28 or more carbons an ultra-long-chain ω-hydroxyceramide = a ceramide that contains an ultra-long-chain ω-hydroxyfatty acid moiety (C28-C36) acylceramide = ω-O-acylceramide = a ceramide that contains an ultra-long-chain ω-hydroxyfatty acid moiety (C28-C36) that is further extended by ω-esterification with linoleic acid. |

| Other name(s): | PNPLA1 (gene name) | ||
| Systematic name: | triacyl-sn-glycerol:ultra-long-chain ω-hydroxyceramide ω-O-linoleoyltransferase | ||
| Comments: | The enzyme participates in the production of acylceramides in the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the epidermis. Acylceramides are crucial components of the skin permeability barrier. | ||
