Background
| Function | FUNCTION: Exhibits acyltransferase activity (PubMed:21498505, PubMed:18156367). Exhibits acetyltransferase activity (By similarity). Activity is calcium-independent (By similarity). Catalyzes the conversion of lysophosphatidylcholine (1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine or LPC) into phosphatidylcholine (1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine or PC) (PubMed:21498505, PubMed:18156367). Catalyzes the conversion 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate (lysophosphatidic acid or LPA) into 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate (phosphatidic acid or PA) by incorporating an acyl moiety at the sn-2 position of the glycerol backbone (By similarity). Displays a clear preference for saturated fatty acyl-CoAs, and 1-myristoyl or 1-palmitoyl LPC as acyl donors and acceptors, respectively (By similarity). 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) (By similarity). May synthesize phosphatidylcholine in pulmonary surfactant, thereby playing a pivotal role in respiratory physiology (By similarity). Involved in the regulation of lipid droplet number and size (PubMed:25491198). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q3TFD2, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18156367, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21498505, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25491198}. |
| Pathway | Lipid metabolism; phospholipid metabolism. |
