AGPAT3 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 3

Gene ID: 56894, updated on 17-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: LPAAT3; LPLAT3; 1-AGPAT 3; LPAAT-GAMMA1

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is an acyltransferase that converts lysophosphatidic acid into phosphatidic acid, which is the second step in the de novo phospholipid biosynthetic pathway. The encoded protein may be an integral membrane protein. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
