EC 2.3 Transferases that transfer acyl groups, Acyltransferases

EC 2.3 subclass definition

The EC 2.3 subclass contains Acyltransferases, transferases that transfer acyl groups. Further classification is based on groups that have been transferred during catalytic act.

Further classification of EC 2.3. subclass

This classification is based on carbon groups transferred during catalysis

EC 2.3.1 - Transfer groups different from amino-acyl groups
EC 2.3.2 - Transfer amino groups - aminoacyltransferases
EC 2.3.3 - During transfer reaction acyl groups converted into alkyl groups
