Phospholipases and acyltransferases in macrophages
Klinische Wochenschrift, 1989In contrast to many other cells, macrophages contain a phospholipase A2, which preferentially liberates arachidonic acid from the main phospholipids. In unstimulated macrophages this acylchain-specific phospholipase A2 is localized in the lipid-free cytosol and thus without function.

The molecular mechanism of DHHC protein acyltransferases.
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2019Protein S-acylation is a reversible lipidic posttranslational modification where a fatty acid chain is covalently linked to cysteine residues by a thioester linkage. A family of integral membrane enzymes known as DHHC protein acyltransferases (DHHC-PATs)

Structure and Function of Carnitine Acyltransferases [PDF]
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2004 Abstract: Carnitine acyltransferases catalyze the exchange of acyl groups between carnitine and coenzyme A (CoA). These enzymes include carnitine acetyltransferase (CrAT), carnitine octanoyltransferase (CrOT), and carnitine palmitoyltransferases (CPTs).

Dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1997In this article the properties, assay, distribution, subcellular localization, deficiency in congenital peroxisomal disorders, purification and physiological functions of dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.42) are reviewed.

ACYL-COENZYME A:CHOLESTEROL ACYLTRANSFERASE
Annual Review of Biochemistry, 1997Due to its presumed role in regulating cellular cholesterol homeostasis, and in various pathophysiological conditions, acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) has attracted much attention. Cloning the ACAT gene provides the necessary tool to advance molecular studies of this enzyme.

Lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2000Cholesterol transport in circulation and its removal from tissues depends on the activity of lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT). LCAT is a soluble enzyme that converts cholesterol and phosphatidylcholines (lecithins) to cholesteryl esters and lyso-phosphatidylcholines on the surface of high-density lipoproteins.

[7] Coenzyme a-independent acyltransferase
1992Publisher Summary This chapter describes coenzyme A-independent acyltransferase. The coenzyme A (CoA)-independent transacylation system catalyzes the transfer of fatty acids from diradyl phospholipids to various lysophospholipids in the absence of any cofactors, differing from the CoA-dependent transacylation reaction, which requires the presence of ...

[10] Dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase
1992Publisher Summary Dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase (DHAPAT) catalyzes the transfer of the fatty acid moiety from long-chain acyl-coenzyme A (acyl-CoA) to the free hydroxyl group of dihydroxyacetone phosphate. This reaction initiates the synthesis of the ether-linked glycerolipids and the more common glycerol ester lipids.
