Lpcat2 - lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 2 Gene

Also Known as Aytl1; Aytl1a; lpafat1; lysoPAFAT; 1-AGPAT 11; A330042H22; lysoPAFAT/LPCAT2

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 270084

Summary

Enables 1-acylglycerophosphocholine O-acyltransferase activity and 1-alkylglycerophosphocholine O-acetyltransferase activity. Involved in membrane organization and platelet activating factor biosynthetic process. Located in Golgi stack; endoplasmic reticulum; and membrane. Orthologous to human LPCAT2 (lysophosphatidylcholine Acyltransferase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
