Summary: Enables phosphatidylcholine-sterol O-acyltransferase activity and phospholipase A2 activity. Involved in several processes, including aflatoxin metabolic process; cholesterol metabolic process; and response to copper ion. Predicted to be part of high-density lipoprotein particle. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Used to study end stage renal disease; familial hyperlipidemia; and myocardial infarction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Norum disease and arteriosclerosis. Orthologous to human LCAT (lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
