A human skin multifunctional O-acyltransferase that catalyzes the synthesis of acylglycerols, waxes, and retinyl esters

, 2005
Acyl-CoA-dependent O-acyltransferases catalyze reactions in which fatty acyl-CoAs are joined to acyl acceptors containing free hydroxyl groups to produce neutral lipids.

Acylation of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate by cell fractions of rat liver

Journal of Lipid Research, 1968
The esterification of sn-glycerol 3-(dihydrogen phosphate) with long-chain fatty acids by rat liver microsomal preparations has been studied. A newly modified spectrophotometric assay for glycerolphosphate acyltransferase (GP-cyltransferase) compared ...

Nutritional Potential, Phytochemical Content, In Vivo Antioxidant, and Antanemic Potential of Musa paradisiaca Flower

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
After collecting Musa paradisiaca leaves, some were dried and others were used to produce aqueous extracts. The extracts and powders were characterized and then administered to rats made anaemic by PHZ. After 14 days of administration of the two samples, the rats were euthanized and it was observed that after 9 days of treatment, the aqueous extract ...

Differential Proteomic Analysis to Reveal the Mechanism of Heat Damage in Soybean Using a Data‐Independent Acquisition (DIA) Strategy

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Heat‐stressed soybeans adapt to elevated temperatures through coordinate regulation of destructive and protective protein expression ‐ suppressing detrimental proteins while enhancing beneficial ones. ABSTRACT Soybean represents the largest imported agricultural product in China. Imported soybeans are typically transported via maritime shipping. During

Identification of two lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase genes with overlapping function in Pseudomonas flourescens

, 2005
Phosphatidic acid (PA) is known to be a crucial phospholipid intermediate in cell membrane biosynthesis. In Escherichia coli, this molecule is produced from lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) by LPA acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.51), encoded by plsC.

Identification of Three Genes Encoding for the Late Acyltransferases of Lipid A in Cronobacter sakazakii

Marine Drugs, 2013
Lipid A, the hydrophobic anchor of lipopolysaccharide, is an essential component in the outer membrane of most Gram-negative bacteria. Food-borne pathogen Cronobacter sakazakii synthesizes two lipid A species, differing by the length of the secondary ...

Neurolathyrism in Sub‐Saharan Africa—Assessing the Neurotoxic Risks of Lathyrus sativus Amid Drought and Food Security Challenges

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Representation of grass pea consumption in drought‐stricken sub‐Saharan Africa sustains nutrition, but excess β‐ODAP exposure due to multiple reasons triggers neurolathyrism, a progressive neurotoxic disorder. ABSTRACT Neurolathyrism is a progressive motor neuron disease due to the consumption of Lathyrus sativus (grass pea) over long periods.
