phosphatidylcholine-retinol O-acyltransferase activity

Term ID
GO:0047173
Synonyms
  • lecithin--retinol acyltransferase activity
  • phosphatidylcholine:retinol-(cellular-retinol-binding-protein) O-acyltransferase activity
  • phosphatidylcholine:retinol-[cellular-retinol-binding-protein] O-acyltransferase activity
Definition
Catalysis of the reaction: a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + all-trans-retinol--[retinol-binding protein] = a 2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + an all-trans-retinyl ester + apo--[retinol-binding protein]. Recognizes the substrate both in free form and when bound to cellular-retinol-binding-protein, but has higher affinity for the bound form.
