Protein
Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase, chloroplastic
Organism
Spinacia oleracea
Function
Esterifies acyl-group from acyl-ACP to the sn-1 position of glycerol-3-phosphate. The enzyme from chilling-resistant plants discriminates against non-fluid palmitic acid and selects oleic acid whereas the enzyme from sensitive plants accepts both fatty acids. This is an oleate-selective acyltransferase.
Similarity
Belongs to the GPAT/DAPAT family.
