Function | Exhibits both acyltransferase and acetyltransferase activities (PubMed:17182612, PubMed:18156367, PubMed:18285344). Activity is calcium-dependent (PubMed:17182612). Catalyzes the conversion of lysophosphatidylcholine (1-acyl-sn-glycero-3- phosphocholine or LPC) into phosphatidylcholine (1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero- 3-phosphocholine or PC) (PubMed:17182612, PubMed:18156367). Catalyzes the conversion 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate (lysophosphatidic acid or LPA) into 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate (phosphatidic acid or PA) by incorporating an acyl moiety at the sn-2 position of the glycerol backbone (By similarity). 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) (PubMed:17182612, PubMed:18285344). Also converts lyso-PAF to 1-O-alkyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PC), a major component of cell membranes and a PAF precursor (PubMed:17182612). Under resting conditions, acyltransferase activity is preferred (PubMed:17182612). Upon acute inflammatory stimulus, acetyltransferase activity is enhanced and PAF synthesis increases (PubMed:17182612). Involved in the regulation of lipid droplet number and size (By similarity). |
