Description
Product Characteristics:
AGPAT6 is a novel glycerolipid acyltransferase of the ER, which is crucial for the production of milk fat by the mammary gland. It converts lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) into phosphatidic acid by incorporating an acyl moiety at the sn-2 position of the glycerol backbone.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, Cell membrane
Synonyms: Testis spermatogenesis apoptosis-related protein 7, 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 6, lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase zeta, AU041707, AW545732, putative lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase, testis spermatogenesis apoptosis-related protein 7, 1 acyl sn glycerol 3 phosphate acyltransferase zeta, 1 AGP acyltransferase 6, Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 4, Acyl-CoA:glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 4, 1 AGPAT 6, LPAAT zeta.
Target Information: Lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferases (EC 2.3.1.51) catalyze the conversion of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) to phosphatidic acid (PA). LPA and PA are involved in signal transduction and lipid biosynthesis.[supplied by OMIM, Apr 2004]
