MBOAT7 membrane bound O-acyltransferase domain containing 7

Gene ID: 79143, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: BB1; LRC4; LENG4; LPIAT; LPLAT; MBOA7; MRT57; OACT7; LPIAT1; LPLAT11; hMBOA-7

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the membrane-bound O-acyltransferases family of integral membrane proteins that have acyltransferase activity. The encoded protein is a lysophosphatidylinositol acyltransferase that has specificity for arachidonoyl-CoA as an acyl donor. This protein is involved in the reacylation of phospholipids as part of the phospholipid remodeling pathway known as the Land cycle. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
