2.3.1: other than amino-acyl groups (mostly acetyltransferases)	N-Acetylglutamate synthase - Choline acetyltransferase - Acetyl-Coenzyme A acetyltransferase - Dihydrolipoyl transacetylase - Acetyl-CoA C-acyltransferase - Beta-galactoside transacetylase - Carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase (CPT1, CPT2) - Acyltransferase like 2 - Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase - Aminolevulinic acid synthase - Beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthase - Glyceronephosphate O-acyltransferase - Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase - Histone acetyltransferase (P300/CBP) - Serotonin N-acetyl transferase - Serine C-palmitoyltransferase (SPTLC1, SPTLC2) - HGSNAT

2.3.2: Aminoacyltransferases	Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase - Peptidyl transferase - Transglutaminase (Tissue transglutaminase, Keratinocyte transglutaminase, Factor XIII)

2.3.3: converted into alkyl on transfer	Citrate synthase - ATP citrate lyase - HMG-CoA synthase
