1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 3
Symbol
AGPAT3
(may also be known as: None)
Organism
Human
Description
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]
