LPGAT1 lysophosphatidylglycerol acyltransferase 1 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 9926)

Symbol: LPGAT1

Full name: lysophosphatidylglycerol acyltransferase 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Also known as: FAM34A; FAM34A1; LPLAT7; NET8

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]
