LPCAT2 - lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 2 Gene
Also Known as AYTL1; LPLAT9; AGPAT11; LysoPAFAT
Species: Homo sapiens
About LPCAT2
This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues and 4 paralogues. Broad expression in thyroid (RPKM 50.3), bone marrow (RPKM 11.0) and 19 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the lysophospholipid Acyltransferase family. The encoded enzyme may function in two ways: to catalyze the biosynthesis of platelet-activating factor (1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) from 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, and to catalyze the synthesis of glycerophospholipid precursors from arachidonyl-CoA and lysophosphatidylcholine. The encoded protein may function in membrane biogenesis and production of platelet-activating factor in inflammatory cells. The enzyme may localize to the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi.
