acyltransferase

acyltransferase
ac·yl·trans·fer·ase (a″səl-transґfər-ās) 1. [EC 2.3] one of a subclass of enzymes of the transferase class that catalyze the transfer of an acyl group from a donor (often the corresponding acyl coenzyme A derivative) to an acceptor compound. Many form esters or amides. 2. a further division of this subclass, a sub-subclass [EC 2.3.1], to distinguish it from the other sub-subclass, aminoacyltransferases. Called also transacylase.
