2.3.1.73 |
| Accepted name: |
diacylglycerol—sterol O-acyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol + sterol = a 1-acyl-sn-glycerol + sterol ester |
| Other name(s): |
1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol:sterol acyl transferase |
| Systematic name: |
1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol:sterol O-acyltransferase |
| Comments: |
Cholesterol, sitosterol, campesterol and diacylglycerol can act as acceptors. Transfers a number of long-chain fatty acyl groups. |
