Acyltransferase is a type of transferase enzyme which acts upon acyl groups. In Biochemistry, a transferase is an Enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a Functional group (e Enzymes are Biomolecules that catalyze ( ie increase the rates of Chemical reactions Almost all enzymes are Proteins acyl group ( IUPAC name alkanoyl) is a Functional group derived by the removal of one or more Hydroxyl group from an Oxoacid.

Examples include:

• Glyceronephosphate O-acyltransferase
• Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase
