Function | Calcium-independent phospholipase, lysophospholipase and O- acyltransferase involved in phospholipid remodeling with implications in endoplasmic reticulum membrane homeostasis and lipid droplet biogenesis (PubMed:19501189, PubMed:9705332, PubMed:10085124, PubMed:10358058, PubMed:28336330). Preferentially hydrolyzes the ester bond of the fatty acyl group attached at the sn-2 position of phospholipids with choline and ethanolamine head groups, producing lysophospholipids that are used in deacylation-reacylation cycles (PubMed:19501189, PubMed:9705332, PubMed:10085124, PubMed:10358058, PubMed:28336330). Transfers the sn-1 fatty acyl from one lysophospholipid molecule to the sn-2 position of another lysophospholipid to form diacyl, alkylacyl and alkenylacyl glycerophospholipids. Cleaves ester bonds but not alkyl or alkenyl ether bonds at sn-1 position of lysophospholipids (PubMed:19501189, PubMed:15944408). Catalyzes sn-2 fatty acyl transfer from phospholipids to the sn-2 position of 1-O-alkyl or 1-O-alkenyl lysophospholipids with lower efficiency (PubMed:19501189, PubMed:15944408). In response to dietary fatty acids, may play a role in the formation of nascent lipid droplets from the endoplasmic reticulum likely by regulating the phospholipid composition of these organelles (PubMed:28336330). |
