Target Bioclass
Enzyme
Family
Diacylglycerol acyltransferase family
Subcellular location
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane
Function
Acyltransferase that catalyzes the formation of ester bonds between fatty alcohols and fatty acyl-CoAs to form wax monoesters. Shows a preference for medium chain acyl-CoAs from C12 to C16 in length and fatty alcohols shorter than C20, as the acyl donors and acceptors, respectively. Also possesses acyl-CoA retinol acyltransferase (ARAT) activity that preferentially esterifies 11-cis-retinol, a chromophore precursor of bleached opsin pigments in cone cells. Shows higher catalytic efficiency toward 11-cis-retinol versus 9-cis-retinol, 13-cis-retinol, and all-trans-retinol substrates.
