| lecithin acyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that reversibly transfers an acyl residue from a lecithin to cholesterol, forming a 1-acylglycerophosphocholine (a lysolecithin) and a cholesterol ester; a deficiency of this enzyme leads to an accumulation of unesterified cholesterol in plasma resulting in anaemia, proteinuria, renal failure, and corneal opacities; LCAT is also low in individuals with fish-eye disease. Synonym: lecithin acyltransferase. Acronym: LCAT (05 Mar 2000) |

| lecithin acyltransferase deficiency | A disease characterised by deficiency or low levels of plasma lecithin cholesterol acyl transferase. Clinical manifestations include corneal opacity, anaemia, and proteinuria. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that reversibly transfers an acyl residue from a lecithin to cholesterol, forming a 1-acylglycerophosphocholine (a lysolecithin) and a cholesterol ester; a deficiency of this enzyme leads to an accumulation of unesterified cholesterol in plasma resulting in anaemia, proteinuria, renal failure, and corneal opacities; LCAT is also low in individuals with fish-eye disease. Synonym: lecithin acyltransferase. Acronym: LCAT (05 Mar 2000) |
| lecithin-retinol acyltransferase | <enzyme> Transfers 1-acyl moiety from lecithin to retinol-cellular retinol-binding protein, type II, to produce retinyl esters; does not use CoA Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| long-chain-alcohol O-fatty-acyltransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses the final step in biosynthesizing storage liquid waxes from long chain fatty acyl CoA and fatty alcohols; forming predominantly c42 wax esters Registry number: EC 2.3.1.75 Synonym: acyl-coenzyme a-alcohol transacylase, aca transacylase, acyl-CoA-alcohol transacylase, wax-ester synthase (26 Jun 1999) |
| lysolecithin-lecithin acyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the reversible reaction of lysolecithin and another phospholipid (e.g., phosphatidylethanolamine) to form lecithin and lysophosphatidylethanolamine; a major route in the restructuring of lecithin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lysomonogalactosyldiacylglycerol acyltransferase | <enzyme> Transfers acyl group from acyl-acyl-carrier protein to an endogenous lysomonogalactosyldiacylglycerol to form monogalactosyldiacylglycerol Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- Synonym: acp-lysomgdg acyltransferase, monogalactosyldiacylglycerol synthase, mgdg synthase (26 Jun 1999) |
| lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase | 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase. (05 Mar 2000) |
