Activity is calcium-dependent. Involved in platelet- activating factor (PAF) biosynthesis by catalyzing the conversion of the PAF precursor, 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (lyso- PAF) into 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PAF). Also converts lyso-PAF to 1-O-alkyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3- phosphocholine (PC), a major component of cell membranes and a PAF precursor. Under resting conditions, acyltransferase activity is preferred. Upon acute inflammatory stimulus, acetyltransferase activity is enhanced and PAF synthesis increases. Also catalyzes the conversion of 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine to 1,2- diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20363836, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21498505}. |Acyltransferase| |efhand| |1-alkylglycerophosphocholine O-acetyltransferase activity| |platelet activating factor biosynthetic process| |1-acylglycerophosphocholine O-acyltransferase activity| |platelet activating factor metabolic process| |1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase activity| |phosphatidylcholine acyl-chain remodeling| |Golgi stack| |phosphatidylcholine metabolic process| |lipid droplet| |ammonium ion metabolic process| |glycerophospholipid biosynthetic process| |glycerolipid biosynthetic process| |phospholipid biosynthetic process| |glycerophospholipid metabolic process| |phospholipid metabolic process| |glycerolipid metabolic process| |drug metabolic process| |organophosphate biosynthetic process| |lipid biosynthetic process| |Golgi membrane| |calcium ion binding| |membrane organization| |organophosphate metabolic process| |endoplasmic reticulum membrane| |cellular lipid metabolic process| |endoplasmic reticulum| |lipid metabolic process| |organonitrogen compound biosynthetic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
