MBOAT2: Proteins and Enzymes

Acyltransferase which mediates the conversion of lysophosphatidylethanolamine(1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine or LPE) into phosphatidylethanolamine(1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine or PE) (LPEAT activity). Catalyzes also the acylation of lysophosphatidicacid (LPA) into phosphatidic acid (PA) (LPAAT activity). Has also a very weak lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase(LPCAT activity). Prefers oleoyl-CoA as the acyl donor. Lysophospholipid acyltransferases (LPLATs) catalyze thereacylation step of the phospholipid remodeling pathway also known as the Lands cycle
