Protein Type
| Enzyme |
Biological Properties |
General Function
| Involved in transferase activity, transferring acyl groups other than amino-acyl groups |
Specific Function
| Acyltransferase that predominantly esterify long chain (wax) alcohols with acyl-CoA-derived fatty acids to produce wax esters. Wax esters are enriched in sebum, suggesting that it plays a central role in lipid metabolism in skin. Has a preference for arachidyl alcohol as well as decyl alcohol, demonstrating its relatively poor activity using saturated long chain alcohols (C16, C18, and C20).
