Comments
Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityAcyl-CoA + 1-acyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate = CoA + 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate.
DomainThe HXXXXD motif is essential for acyltransferase activity and may constitute the binding site for the phosphate moiety of the glycerol-3-phosphate.
FunctionConverts lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) into phosphatidic acid by incorporating an acyl moiety at the sn-2 position of the glycerol backbone.
PathwayPhospholipid metabolism; CDP-diacylglycerol biosynthesis; CDP-diacylglycerol from sn-glycerol 3-phosphate: step 2/3.
Sequence CautionSequence=AAB47493.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Translation N-terminally extended.; Evidence= ;
SimilarityBelongs to the 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase family.
Subcellular LocationEndoplasmic reticulum membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein .
Tissue SpecificityWidely expressed. Expressed in adipose tissue and at high levels in testis and pancreas. Expressed at lower levels in tissues such as heart, brain, placenta, kidney, lung, spleen, thymus, prostate, ovary, intestine, colon, leukocyte and liver.
