Anti-AWAT2

Protein function: Acyltransferase that catalyzes the formation of ester bonds between fatty alcohols and fatty acyl-CoAs to form wax monoesters (PubMed:15220349, PubMed:15671038, PubMed:16106050, PubMed:28420705). 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 (PubMed:15220349, PubMed:15671038). Also possesses acyl- CoA retinol acyltransferase (ARAT) activity that catalyzes 11-cis- specific retinyl ester synthesis (PubMed:16106050, PubMed:24799687). Shows higher catalytic efficiency toward 11-cis-retinol versus 9-cis- retinol, 13-cis-retinol, and all-trans-retinol substrates (PubMed:24799687).
