AGPAT2 - 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 2 Gene
Also Known as BSCL; BSCL1; LPAAB; LPLAT2; 1-AGPAT2; LPAAT-beta
Species: Homo sapiens
About AGPAT2
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 201 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Biased expression in fat (RPKM 221.4), small intestine (RPKM 55.9) and 8 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase family. The protein is located within the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and converts lysophosphatidic acid to phosphatidic acid, the second step in de novo phospholipid biosynthesis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL), or Berardinelli-Seip syndrome, a disease characterized by a near absence of adipose tissue and severe Insulin resistance. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
