Acyltransferase that catalyzes the formation of ester bonds between fatty alcohols and fatty acyl-CoAs to form wax monoesters (PubMed:15220349). Shows a preference for medium chain acyl-CoAs from C12 to C16 in length and fatty alcohols shorter than C20, as the acyl donor and acceptor, respectively (PubMed:15220349). Also possesses acyl-CoA retinol acyltransferase (ARAT) activity that catalyzes 11-cis-specific retinyl ester synthesis (PubMed:28096191). Shows higher catalytic efficiency toward 11-cis-retinol versus 9-cis-retinol, 13- cis-retinol and all-trans-retinol substrates (By similarity). a fatty acyl-CoA + a long chain fatty alcohol = a wax ester + CoA all-trans-retinol + an acyl-CoA = an all-trans-retinyl ester + CoA 2-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-glycerol + hexadecanoyl-CoA = 1-hexadecanoyl-2-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycerol + CoA 1,2-di-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycerol + hexadecanoyl-CoA = 1,2-di-(9Z)-octadecenoyl-3-hexadecanoyl-sn-glycerol + CoA hexadecan-1-ol + hexadecanoyl-CoA = CoA + hexadecanyl hexadecanoate hexadecane-1,2-diol + hexadecanoyl-CoA = 2-hydroxyhexadecyl hexadecanoate + CoA all-trans-retinol + hexadecanoyl-CoA = all-trans-retinyl hexadecanoate + CoA (9Z)-octadecenoyl-CoA + 1,2-di-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycerol = 1,2,3-tri-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-glycerol + CoA (9Z)-octadecenoyl-CoA + hexadecan-1-ol = CoA + hexadecanyl (9Z)-octadecenoate (9Z)-hexadecen-1-ol + (9Z)-octadecenoyl-CoA = 1-O-(9Z)-hexadecenyl (9Z)-octadecenoate + CoA (9Z)-octadecenoyl-CoA + octadecan-1-ol = 1-O-octadecyl (9Z)-octadecenoate + CoA (9Z)-octadecen-1-ol + (9Z)-octadecenoyl-CoA = 1-O-(9Z)-octadecenyl (9Z)-octadecenoate + CoA (9Z)-hexadecenoyl-CoA + hexadecan-1-ol = 1-O-hexadecyl (9Z)-hexadecenoate + CoA hexadecan-1-ol + octadecanoyl-CoA = CoA + hexadecanyl octadecanoate 11-cis-retinol + hexadecanoyl-CoA = 11-cis-retinyl hexadecanoate + CoA (9Z)-octadecenoyl-CoA + 1-O-(9Z-octadecenyl)-glycerol = 1-O-(9Z-octadecenyl)-mono-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-glycerol + CoA (9Z)-octadecenoyl-CoA + 1-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-glycerol = 1,2-di-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-glycerol + CoA 11-cis-retinol + tetradecanoyl-CoA = 11-cis-retinyl tetradecanoate + CoA 9-cis-retinol + tetradecanoyl-CoA = 9-cis-retinyl tetradecanoate + CoA 13-cis-retinol + tetradecanoyl-CoA = 13-cis-retinyl tetradecanoate + CoA all-trans-retinol + tetradecanoyl-CoA = all-trans-retinyl tetradecanoate + CoA tetradecan-1-ol + tetradecanoyl-CoA = CoA + tetradecanyl tetradecanoate 11-cis retinoids act as allosteric modulators of acyl-CoA retinol O-fatty-acyltransferase (ARAT) activity by suppressing esterification of 9-cis, 13-cis, or all-trans retinols concurrently increasing the enzyme specificity toward 11-cis isomer. Monomer. Expressed in Mueller cells of the retina (at protein level) (PubMed:24799687). Abundant in tissues rich in sebaceous glands such as the preputial gland and eyelid (PubMed:15220349). Belongs to the diacylglycerol acyltransferase family.
