The MBOAT (membrane bound O-acyl transferase) family of membrane proteins is a family of various acyltransferase enzymes. All family members contain multiple transmembrane domains and most carry two conserved residues which might be active-site residues, a conserved histidine (His) embedded in a hydrophobic stretch of residues and an asparagine (Asn) or histidine within a more hydrophilic region some 30-50 residues upstream.[1]
MBOAT enzymes catalyze the transfer of an acyl group from acyl-coenzyme to one of several different substrates. The family is found from bacteria to eukaryotes.[2]
The family may be grouped into three categories, according to function:
- Subgroup 1: enzymes involved in neutral lipid biosynthesis;
- Subgroup 2: enzymes involved in protein/peptide acylation;
- Subgroup 3: enzymes involved in phospholipid re-modelling.[3]
