Comments

Comment type	Description
Catalytic Activity	Acyl-CoA + 1,2-diacylglycerol = CoA + triacylglycerol.
Catalytic Activity	Acyl-CoA + a long-chain alcohol = CoA + a long-chain ester.
Disruption Phenotype	Severe reduction in wax alkyl esters. {ECO:0000269\|PubMed:18621978}.
Function	Bifunctional wax ester synthase/diacylglycerol acyltransferase. Involved in cuticular wax biosynthesis. {ECO:0000269\|PubMed:18621978}.
Induction	Up-regulated in the stem epidermis during active wax synthesis. {ECO:0000269\|PubMed:16299169}.
Pathway	Glycerolipid metabolism; triacylglycerol biosynthesis.
Sequence Caution	Sequence=BAB09102.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Translation N-terminally shortened.; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
Similarity	In the N-terminal section; belongs to the long-chain O-acyltransferase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular Location	Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}.
Tissue Specificity	Expressed in flowers, top parts of stems, and leaves. Not found in roots, seeds and young seedlings. {ECO:0000269\|PubMed:18621978}.
