glycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase

glycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase
glyc·er·ol-3-phos·phate O-ac·yl·trans·fer·ase (glisґər-ol fosґfāt a″səl-transґfər-ās) [EC 2.3.1.15] an enzyme of the transferase class that catalyzes the transfer of an acyl group to glycerol 3-phosphate from an acyl CoA with a chain longer than ten carbons, yielding a lysophosphatidate. The reaction is a step in the synthesis of triglycerides and phosphatidates, and the enzyme also catalyzes the addition of a second acyl group to the lysophosphatidate to form a phosphatidate.
