Galactolipid O-acyltransferase
class of enzymes
In enzymology, a galactolipid O-acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.134) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
2 mono-beta-D-galactosyldiacylglycerol
⇌
{\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }
acylmono-beta-D-galactosyldiacylglycerol + mono-beta-D-galactosylacylglycerol
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, mono-beta-D-galactosyldiacylglycerol, and two products, acylmono-beta-D-galactosyldiacylglycerol and mono-beta-D-galactosylacylglycerol.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is mono-beta-D-galactosyldiacylglycerol:mono-beta-D-galactosyldiacylgly cerol acyltransferase. This enzyme is also called galactolipid:galactolipid acyltransferase. This enzyme participates in glycerolipid metabolism.

Why this record matters
“Galactolipid O-acyltransferase” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Galactolipid, O-acyltransferase and class provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 26, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q3757500. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1986.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
