| AWAT1 | Acyl-CoA wax alcohol acyltransferase 1; Acyltransferase that catalyzes the formation of ester bonds between fatty alcohols and fatty acyl-CoAs to form wax monoesters. Shows a strong preference for decyl alcohol (C10), with less activity towards C16 and C18 alcohols. Shows a strong preference for saturated acyl-CoAs. (328 aa) | ||||
| AWAT2 | Acyl-CoA wax alcohol acyltransferase 2; Acyltransferase that catalyzes the formation of ester bonds between fatty alcohols and fatty acyl-CoAs to form wax monoesters. Shows a preference for medium chain acyl-CoAs from C12 to C16 in length and fatty alcohols shorter than C20, as the acyl donors and acceptors, respectively. Also possesses acyl- CoA retinol acyltransferase (ARAT) activity that catalyzes 11-cis- specific retinyl ester synthesis. Shows higher catalytic efficiency toward 11-cis-retinol versus 9-cis- retinol, 13-cis-retinol, and all-trans-retinol substrates. (333 aa) | ||||
| FAR1 | Fatty acyl-CoA reductase 1; Catalyzes the reduction of saturated and unsaturated C16 or C18 fatty acyl-CoA to fatty alcohols. It plays an essential role in the production of ether lipids/plasmalogens which synthesis requires fatty alcohols. In parallel, it is also required for wax monoesters production since fatty alcohols also constitute a substrate for their synthesis (By similarity). (515 aa) | ||||
| FAR2 | Fatty acyl-CoA reductase 2; Catalyzes the reduction of saturated but not unsaturated C16 or C18 fatty acyl-CoA to fatty alcohols. A lower activity can be observed with shorter fatty acyl-CoA substrates. It may play a role in the production of ether lipids/plasmalogens and wax monoesters which synthesis requires fatty alcohols as substrates (By similarity). (515 aa) | ||||
