In the field of [[enzymology]], a '''glycerophospholipid arachidonoyl-transferase (CoA-independent)''' ({{EC number|2.3.1.147}}) is an [[enzyme]] that [[catalysis|catalyzes]] the [[chemical reaction]]:

:1-organyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + 1-organyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> 1-organyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine + 1-organyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine

This enzyme catalyzes the transfer of [[arachidonic acid]] and other polyenoic fatty acids from intact [[choline]] or [[ethanolamine]]-containing [[glycerophospholipid]]s to the sn-2 position of a lyso- glycerophospholipid. The organyl group on sn-1 of the donor or acceptor molecule can be alkyl, acyl or alk-1-enyl.  This enzyme belongs to the family of [[transferase]]s, specifically those [[acyltransferase]]s transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups.
