DESCRIPTION

Also known as MBOA2_HUMAN, MBOAT2, LPCAT4, OACT2. Acyltransferase which catalyzes the transfer of an acyl group from an acyl-CoA to a lysophospholipid leading to the production of a phospholipid and participates in the reacylation step of the phospholipid remodeling pathway also known as the Lands cycle (PubMed:18772128). Catalyzes preferentially the acylation of lysophosphatidylethanolamine (1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine or LPE) and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and to a lesser extend lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) and lysophosphatidylserine (LPS) (PubMed:18772128). Prefers oleoyl-CoA as the acyl donor (PubMed:18772128). May be involved in chondrocyte differentiation (By similarity).
