XAT Acyl-Donor Substrate Preference
| Lipid Substrate | Relative Activity (%) |
|---|---|
| Triglycerides | 100 ± 2.9 |
| 1,2-Diglycerides | 31 ± 18 |
| Lysophosphotidylcholine | 13.6 ± 1.0a |
| Free fatty acids | 9.3 ± 1.8 |
| 1,3-Diglycerides | 3.5 ± 0.2 |
| Monoglycerides | 1.8 ± 0.7a |
| Phosphotidylcholine | ND |
In vitro enzyme assays were performed with 20 μg of recombinant XAT and 5 mM of acyl-donor substrate. Assays were performed at 37°C and pH 8.0 for 4 h in a final assay volume of 200 μL. Data show activity ±se relative to trilinolein (Triglyceride) for n = 3 biological replicates from one representative experiment. Experiment was performed 2 times, with similar results. ND, not detected. Statistically significant difference (P < 0.05).
