Name Acyl-CoA wax alcohol acyltransferase 1
Synonyms
  1. Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2-like protein 3
  2. Diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2
  3. Long-chain-alcohol O-fatty-acyltransferase 1
Gene Name AWAT1
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).
Pathways
  • Retinol Metabolism
  • Vitamin A Deficiency
