Glycerol-3-phosphate 2-O-acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.198, sn-2-glycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase, glycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase) is an enzyme with systematic name acyl-CoA:sn-glycerol 3-phosphate 2-O-acyltransferase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- acyl-CoA + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate CoA + a 2-acyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate
This membrane-associated enzyme is required for suberin or cutin synthesis in plants.
