Glycerol-3-phosphate 2-O-acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.198, sn-2-glycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase, glycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase) is an enzyme with systematic name acyl-CoA:sn-glycerol 3-phosphate 2-O-acyltransferase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

acyl-CoA + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] CoA + a 2-acyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate

This membrane-associated enzyme is required for suberin or cutin synthesis in plants.
