lysolecithin acylmutase
Ec Number:5.4.1.1
Cas Number:9031-24-7
Go Code:0050070

In enzymology, a lysolecithin acylmutase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

2-lysolecithin

\rightleftharpoons

3-lysolecithin

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, 2-lysolecithin, and one product, 3-lysolecithin.

This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those intramolecular transferases transferring acyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is lysolecithin 2,3-acylmutase. This enzyme is also called lysolecithin migratase.
