Diacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase
In enzymology, a diacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are CDP-choline and 1,2-diacylglycerol, whereas its two products are CMP and phosphatidylcholine.Classification
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring non-standard substituted phosphate groups.Nomenclature
The systematic name of this enzyme class is CDP choline:1,2-diacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase. Other names in common use include:
- 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-m-glycerol:CDPcholine choline phosphotransferase,
- 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol cholinephosphotransferase,
- 1-alkyl-2-acetylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase,
- alkylacylglycerol choline phosphotransferase,
- alkylacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase,
- CDP-choline diglyceride phosphotransferase,
- cholinephosphotransferase,
- CPT,
- cytidine diphosphocholine glyceride transferase,
- cytidine diphosphorylcholine diglyceride transferase,
- diacylglycerol choline phosphotransferase,
- phosphocholine diacylglyceroltransferase,
- phosphorylcholine-glyceride transferase, and
- sn-1,2-diacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase.
This enzyme participates in 3 metabolic pathways: aminophosphonate metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, and ether lipid metabolism.
