Galactolipid O-acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.134) is an enzyme in glycerolipid metabolism. It uses mono-beta-D-galactosyldiacylglycerol as a substrate and produces acylmono-beta-D-galactosyldiacylglycerol and mono-beta-D-galactosylacylglycerol. It belongs to the transferase family, specifically acyltransferases that move acyl groups (not aminoacyl groups). Its systematic name is mono-beta-D-galactosyldiacylglycerol:mono-beta-D-galactosyldiacylglycerol acyltransferase, and it is also called galactolipid:galactolipid acyltransferase.
