LPGAT1 lysophosphatidylglycerol acyltransferase 1

Gene ID: 9926, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: NET8; FAM34A; LPLAT7; FAM34A1

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the lysophospholipid acyltransferase family. The encoded protein catalyzes the reacylation of lysophosphatidylglycerol to phosphatidylglycerol, a membrane phospholipid that is an important precursor for the synthesis of cardiolipin. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]
