Lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1, also known as acyltransferase like 2, is a protein in humans that is encoded by the LPCAT1 gene.
Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) acyltransferase (LPCAT; EC 2.3.1.23) catalyzes the conversion of LPC to phosphatidylcholine (PC) in the remodeling pathway of PC biosynthesis.
