Glycerophosphate/Acylglycerophosphate Acyltransferases [PDF]
Biology, 2014 Acyl-CoA:glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) and acyl-CoA: 1-acyl-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (AGPAT) are involved in the de novo synthesis of triacylglycerol (TAG) and glycerophospholipids.

Identification and Characterization of Sterol Acyltransferases Responsible for Steryl Ester Biosynthesis in Tomato [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Steryl esters (SEs) serve as a storage pool of sterols that helps to maintain proper levels of free sterols (FSs) in cell membranes throughout plant growth and development, and participates in the recycling of FSs and fatty acids released from cell ...

Mitochondrial acyltransferases and glycerophospholipid metabolism [PDF]
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2017 Our understanding of the synthesis and remodeling of mitochondrial phospholipids remains incomplete. Two isoforms of glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT1 and 2) and two isoforms of acylglycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (AGPAT4 and 5) are ...

Acyltransferases in Bacteria [PDF]
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2013 SUMMARY Long-chain-length hydrophobic acyl residues play a vital role in a multitude of essential biological structures and processes. They build the inner hydrophobic layers of biological membranes, are converted to intracellular storage compounds, and are used to modify protein properties or function as membrane anchors, to name only a few ...
