Enzymatic transfer of the acyl group from acyl dihydroyxacetone phosphate to different substrates

The acyl group of acyl dihydroxyacetone phosphate was shown to be enzymatically transferred in guinea pig liver mitochondria to various acceptors such as lysolecithin, lysophosphatidyl ethanolamine and $\text{sn}$-glycerol-3-phosphate to form lecithin, phosphatidyl ethanolamine and phosphatidate, respectively. Coenzyme A and Mg⁺⁺, but not ATP, were required for this reaction. A rapid exchange of acyl group between acyl dihydroxyacetone phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate was also observed.
