Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Possesses both acyltransferase and acetyltransferase activities. Activity is calcium-independent. Mediates the conversion of 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (LPC) into phosphatidylcholine (PC). Displays a clear preference for saturated fatty acyl-CoAs, and 1-myristoyl or 1-palmitoyl LPC as acyl donors and acceptors, respectively. May synthesize phosphatidylcholine in pulmonary surfactant, thereby playing a pivotal role in respiratory physiology. {ECO:0000269PubMed:16864775, ECO:0000269PubMed:21498505}.

Subcellular Localization

Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269PubMed:21498505}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000269PubMed:21498505}. Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000269PubMed:21498505}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000269PubMed:21498505}. Lipid droplet {ECO:0000269PubMed:21498505}. Note=May adopt a monotopic topology when embedded in the lipid monolayer of the lipid droplet, with both termini exposed to the cytoplasm.
