Identification
NameLysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase
Synonyms
  • 1-acylglycerophosphocholine O-acyltransferase
  • Tafazzin homolog
  • lyso-PC acyltransferase
Gene NameTAZ1
Enzyme Class
Biological Properties
General FunctionInvolved in acyltransferase activity
Specific FunctionAcyltransferase which mediates the conversion of 1-acyl- sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (LPC) into phosphatidylcholine (PC). Displays a broad LPC fatty acyl chain substrate specificity utilizing LPC molecules ranging in length from C-10 to C-20. Does not utilize other lysolipids than LPC as acceptor. Also shows acyl-CoA-independent acyltransferase activity. Required for normal phospholipid content of mitochondrial membranes. Involved in the remodeling of the acyl groups of cardiolipin in the mitochondrial inner membrane, which affects the assembly and stability of respiratory chain complex IV and its supercomplex forms
Cellular LocationMitochondrion outer membrane; Single-pass membrane protein; Intermembrane side (Potential)
