| Accepted name: |
glycerone-phosphate O-acyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
acyl-CoA + glycerone phosphate = CoA + acylglycerone phosphate |
| Glossary: |
glycerone phosphate = dihydroxyacetone phosphate = 3-hydroxy-2-oxopropyl phosphate |
| Other name(s): |
dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase (ambiguous) |
| Systematic name: |
acyl-CoA:glycerone-phosphate O-acyltransferase |
| Comments: |
A membrane protein. Uses CoA derivatives of palmitate, stearate and oleate, with highest activity on palmitoyl-CoA. |
