Target data Calcium-independent phospholipase, lysophospholipase and O-acyltransferase involved in phospholipid remodeling with implications in endoplasmic reticulum membrane homeostasis and lipid droplet biogenesis (PubMed : 10085124, PubMed : 10358058, PubMed : 19501189, PubMed : 28336330, PubMed : 9705332). Preferentially hydrolyzes the ester bond of the fatty acyl group attached at the sn-2 position of phospholipids with choline and ethanolamine head groups, producing lysophospholipids that are used in deacylation-reacylation cycles (PubMed : 10085124, PubMed : 10358058, PubMed : 19501189, PubMed : 28336330, PubMed : 9705332). Transfers the sn-1 fatty acyl from one lysophospholipid molecule to the sn-2 position of another lysophospholipid to form diacyl, alkylacyl and alkenylacyl glycerophospholipids. Cleaves ester bonds but not alkyl or alkenyl ether bonds at sn-1 position of lysophospholipids (PubMed : 15944408, PubMed : 19501189). Catalyzes sn-2 fatty acyl transfer from phospholipids to the sn-2 position of 1-O-alkyl or 1-O-alkenyl lysophospholipids with lower efficiency (PubMed : 15944408, PubMed : 19501189). In response to dietary fatty acids, may play a role in the formation of nascent lipid droplets from the endoplasmic reticulum likely by regulating the phospholipid composition of these organelles (PubMed : 28336330).. (Microbial infection) May play a role in replication and assembly of human hepatitis C virus (HCV) (PubMed : 23015700, PubMed : 28336330). In response to HCV infection, promotes remodeling of host endoplasmic reticulum membranes to form organelle-like structures called membranous web, where HCV replication occur (PubMed : 23015700). Can further mediate translocation of replication complexes to lipid droplets to enable virion assembly (PubMed : 23015700, PubMed : 28336330).. (Microbial infection) May facilitate human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection by promoting leukotriene B4 (LTB4) biosynthesis. LTB4 acts as a chemoattractant for HTLV-1-infected CD4-positive T cells and favors cell to cell viral transmission. See full target information PLA2G4C
