1-alkenyl-2-acylglycerol choline phosphotransferase

Class of enzymes 1-alkenyl-2-acylglycerol choline phosphotransferase 2.7.8.22 113066-36-7 0047359 In enzymology, a 1-alkenyl-2-acylglycerol choline phosphotransferase (2.7.8.22) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction CDP-choline + 1-alkenyl-2-acylglycerol CMP + plasmenylcholine Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are CDP-choline and 1-alkenyl-2-acylglycerol, whereas its two products are CMP and plasmenylcholine. This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring non-standard substituted phosphate groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is CDP-choline:1-alkenyl-2-acylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase. This enzyme is also called CDP-choline-1-alkenyl-2-acyl-glycerol phosphocholinetransferase. This enzyme participates in ether lipid metabolism. References 1 Wientzek M, Man RY, Choy PC 1987 Choline glycerophospholipid biosynthesis in the guinea pig heart Biochem.
