Characteristics of the protein coding sequence

Name of the protein expressed by the coding sequence

1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase

Biological function

Converts lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) into phosphatidic acid by incorporating an acyl moiety at the 2 position. This enzyme can utilize either acyl-CoA or acyl-ACP as the fatty acyl donor
