General annotation (Comments)

Function	Possesses both acyltransferase and acetyltransferase activities. Activity is calcium-dependent. 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). Also converts lyso-PAF to 1-alkyl-phosphatidylcholine (PC), a major component of cell membranes and a PAF precursor. Under resting conditions, acyltransferase activity is preferred. Upon acute inflammatory stimulus, acetyltransferase activity is enhanced and PAF synthesis increases By similarity.
Catalytic activity	Acyl-CoA + 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine = CoA + 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. Acetyl-CoA + 1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine = CoA + 2-acetyl-1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine.
Enzyme regulation	Acetyltransferase activity is increased following acute inflammatory stimulation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Acyltransferase activity is unchanged By similarity.
Pathway	Lipid metabolism; phospholipid metabolism.
Subcellular location	Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein By similarity. Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein By similarity.
Domain	The HXXXXD motif is essential for acyltransferase activity By similarity.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase family. Contains 2 EF-hand domains.
Sequence caution	The sequence BAA91199.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at position 44. The sequence CAE46034.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at position 295.
