| Function (UniProt annotation) |
Possesses both acyltransferase and acetyltransferase activities (PubMed:17182612, PubMed:18156367). Activity is calcium-dependent (PubMed:17182612). Involved in platelet-activating factor (PAF) biosynthesis by catalyzing the conversion of the PAF precursor, 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (lyso-PAF) into 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PAF) (PubMed:17182612). Also converts lyso-PAF to 1-O-alkyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PC), a major component of cell membranes and a PAF precursor (PubMed:17182612, PubMed:18156367). Under resting conditions, acyltransferase activity is preferred (PubMed:17182612). Upon acute inflammatory stimulus, acetyltransferase activity is enhanced and PAF synthesis increases (PubMed:17182612). Also catalyzes the conversion of 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine to 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. Involved in the regulation of lipid droplet number and size (By similarity). |
