Function | Exhibits both acyltransferase and acetyltransferase activities (PubMed:17182612, PubMed:20363836, PubMed:21498505). 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:21498505). 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 (PubMed:20363836). 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). 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 (By similarity). Under resting conditions, acyltransferase activity is preferred (By similarity). Upon acute inflammatory stimulus, acetyltransferase activity is enhanced and PAF synthesis increases (By similarity). Involved in the regulation of lipid droplet number and size (PubMed:25491198). |

Background
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-O-alkyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3- phosphocholine (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. Also catalyzes the conversion of 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine to 1,2- diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine.
